Bard part number 8402-198BX is an OEM limit control used in Bard wall mounted air conditioners with electric heat, where it monitors heater temperature and opens the safety circuit if conditions exceed its setpoint to help prevent overheating and nuisance damage. This control is commonly listed in Bard electric heat component assemblies and is selected to match the original temperature trip and reset behavior so the unit can cycle heat safely and stay within design limits. If you are troubleshooting repeated limit trips, confirm proper airflow across the heater and verify the exact part number from your unit wiring diagram or parts list before ordering to ensure correct fit and operation.
Bard uses suffixes like "BX" to manage parts internally. These do not change the physical form or function of the part.
A part number ending in "BX" simply means it is packaged in a box for shipping, rather than for internal assembly use.
Example: 8406-142BX is physically identical to 8406-142.
