The Bard 8406-014 high pressure switch is an OEM safety control that monitors refrigerant discharge pressure in compatible Bard wall mounted HVAC equipment and helps protect the compressor by opening the control circuit if system pressure rises beyond safe operating limits. In the field, this switch is commonly checked when a unit is cycling off on high pressure due to airflow issues, dirty condenser coils, overcharge, or a restricted metering device, so replacing a weak or failed switch with the correct Bard part restores proper safety shutoff operation and reliable cooling performance. Verify fit by matching your unit model and the pressure switch connection and wiring style to ensure proper operation after installation.
