563323 Genuine Oven Thermal Limiter 200°C Single Pole T24 for Fisher & Paykel Ovens, Overheat Safety Cut-Out

The 563323 is a genuine Fisher & Paykel thermal limiter rated at 200°C, a single pole safety cut-out of the T24 type. It cuts power when the area it monitors gets too hot, protecting the oven and the cabinetry around it. No model list is on file for this part, so match the 200°C rating, the single pole terminals and the part number on your old limiter, or send your oven model through the parts enquiry form.

Oven cutting out or dead after overheating

A thermal limiter is a heat-operated switch. Below its rated temperature its contact stays closed. If the oven, or the zone the limiter watches, goes past 200°C, the contact opens and cuts power to the circuit it protects. Some limiters reset when they cool, others stay open until replaced. A failed or tripped limiter can leave the oven completely dead, stop the elements while the light and fan still work, or make the oven cut out partway through cooking. Always find out why it tripped, as a failed cooling fan or a stuck thermostat is often the real cause.

Changing the limiter

Turn the oven off at the switchboard and let it cool fully. Swapping a limiter on a hard-wired oven is a job for a licensed electrician. Note which wires go to the limiter before removing it, and make sure the new one sits flat against its mounting so it senses the temperature properly. Never bridge a limiter to get an oven working.

Questions about this part

My limiter keeps tripping. Will a new one fix it?

Only if the limiter itself has failed. If a new limiter also trips, the oven is overheating for another reason, often a cooling fan fault, a thermostat problem or a blocked vent, and that needs to be found and fixed.
