An erratic refrigeration unit is more than an inconvenience; it's a direct threat to your cargo and your bottom line. If you're troubleshooting inconsistent cooling, unexpected shutdowns, or error codes on your Thermo King SLX series unit, a faulty pressure transducer is often the culprit. This critical sensor is the brain of the pressure monitoring system, and when it fails, it sends your entire refrigeration unit into a state of unreliable operation.

The Core Problem: Unreliable Pressure Readings

The pressure transducer continuously monitors refrigerant pressure, providing essential data to the unit's controller. When this component fails, you might experience:

  • Inconsistent Temperature Control: The unit can't maintain the setpoint, risking cargo spoilage.
  • Unexpected System Shutdowns: Faulty readings cause the controller to engage safety lockouts unnecessarily.
  • Diagnostic Headaches: Intermittent issues that are difficult to pin down, leading to extended downtime.

The Direct Solution: The Thermo King 42-1310 Pressure Transducer

For a dependable and immediate fix, the genuine Thermo King Transducer 42-1310 is the definitive solution. This isn't a generic substitute; it's the original 200 PSIG component designed and specified for your system.

Why the 42-1310 is the Right Choice:

  • Guaranteed Compatibility: As a direct replacement for the older part number 42-2284, it ensures a perfect fit and seamless integration with your Thermo King SLX100, SLX400, SLXe100, and SLXe400 models. No modifications or guesswork required.
  • Original Reliability: Being a genuine Thermo King part, it is built to the exact same specifications and quality standards as the original component in your unit. This guarantees the accuracy and longevity you need to avoid repeat failures.
  • Restored System Integrity: With a new 42-1310 transducer installed, your refrigeration system regains its ability to accurately monitor pressure. This translates directly to stable temperatures, reliable operation, and the elimination of those frustrating false-error shutdowns.

Don't let a small sensor cause a major operational disruption.
