Genuine thermal protection switch for the Ashbys Metal Power Brush
This genuine Ashbys Thermal Reset Switch is the original safety component fitted to the Ashbys Metal Power Brush. Its job is simple but essential: if the motor overheats, the switch automatically trips to protect the motor from damage. Once the motor has cooled to a safe temperature, the switch can be manually reset, allowing you to continue working with confidence.
