Onan Generator exhaust temperature switch - great price.
eric freedman
I have broken a few of these switches over the years. I have done this by reaching over the generator to retrieve something stored behind the genset. I received a quote from my Onan dealer and on Amazon for around $90- plus tax which is ridiculous. I tracked down the OEM manufacturer and the cost is about $23- plus a one time set up fee of about $50- I plan on ordering 2 of these. They stated that they make this for ONAN. If anyone is interested please let me know and I can order them for you $33- each plus USPS of about $8.00. I will order the switches within a week. Fair Winds, Eric SM 376 Kimberlite

Thanks Eric. Sent you a message with order details. When these fail, go bad, or break, how do you know? Does it prevent the genset from starting/running? Or does it allow the genset to overheat if there are issues with the cooling system (broken impeller for example) and potentially damage things? Cheers, Mike Longcor SV Trilogy SM23 Opua, NZ

These are simple thermal switches. They are normally closed. If the circuit opens up the genset stops. My problem is sometimes they burn out and other times I hit the switch and it separates. Fair Winds, Eric

Hi Eric,
please count me in for three of these sensors. I just replaced the rubber hose coupling between the exhaust elbow and the pipe leading outside of the onan box and could see that the sensor contacts are very corroded. -- Michael & Robyn SY RIPPLE SM2K # 417

WAIT and read this before you order! Not all Onan Generators in all SMs and 54s are created equally. Use your ohmmeter to check for continuity between the terminals on the temperature sensor on the exhaust elbow. Some Onan models have part 309-0295-01 which is Normally Closed. Other models have part 309-0295 is Normally Open. Which sensor you have depends on your Onan Model and Serial. Check the parts manual for your model to determine how to test this sensor. Or call your Cummins/Onan dealer with your model and serial number. Good to know: The normal temperature of the exhaust elbow is about 50C and the normal temperature of the coolant is about 80C. Were these in range? How many hours since the last impeller change? Should be less than 300hrs or 12 months. The impeller blades can look OK, but the impeller can be defective. You can have some water flow, but not enough to keep the elbow below about 70C (the approximate cut-off temp).

It would, but earlier Onan generators use the other one. I don't know the Onan model and year changeover, but it did happen.

Hi Eric, Cancel my order, mine are normally open. I have a 1999 6.5KW MDKAL Onan. I guess that means if they fail to close, my engine gets hot and doesn't shut down. Both times mine failed closed and the engine would start up and immediately shut down. Once it was intermittent and difficult to diagnose. Thanks anyway, and cancel the three I ordered. If it's too late, let me know. If your guy can make the normally open ones, I'd be interested. Kent SM 243 Kristy
