Question on Compressor/Condenser Operation

[cola62]

I don't think Funtronicsdo carries the switch.  I called around and couldn't come up with one, then made a trip to Home Depot and found it.

The switch is actually not the problem.  It works fine once I hooked it back up.  I just wanted to find a harness that has a connection for the switch too.  Unfortunately, when I talked to Funtronics, they said that the harnesses they have don't have that connection, and they don't recommend hooking it up anyway due to it being a fire hazard.  Not really a big deal, I just wanted it working like it did originally.

Can't understand how a cutoff switch could be considered a fire hazard. Lack of one, yes.
Curious on the logic here.

I think This is a case of comparing apple & oranges.....( confused application in regards to the wiring harness in question) they ( Funtronics) may have been referring to an upright machines coinmech heater/resister being a burn/fire hazard, as opposed to the compressors over current device being talked about in this topic ( I assume)  the over-current protector is an integral part of the original compressors wiring & not an external device unless you replace the entire start/run relay assembly.
