Help locating where limit switch is located

[mcclerg]

My mother has a Coleman model# 7655-856 furnace that is not working. She hired a local tech to assess the problem and he surmised that it needs a limit switch. I purchased from you last week the two (2) limit switches listed on your website. I will be driving to her house to do the repair myself but since I have not seen the furnace yet I was hoping you could tell me where to look for the limit switches on the furnace? Also can you tell me whether the existing switches are fastened with rivets or screws? If rivets can you suggest the best way to attach the new ones? Any other pointers you can provide are appreciated.
Thank you

Let get this moved to the Heating section

Apparently Greg is having a problem posting. All his posts read the same. As far as I can tell, this is the heating section.
You should have no problem locating and identifying the limits. Just be sure to replace them like for like. Look for any difference in the physical appearance of each switch or look for a temperature rating on the body of the switch, or on the underside of the disc, that is the same as what is on the new switch. There should be no rivets.

Upper limit switch is mounted on side of blower housing. Lower limit is mounted on bottom back wall of the control box.


Gordo,
