If there is a thermal switch in the field windings, this can be used to cause the contactor to drop out on over temp. :)

True, and I will rig one of those up as soon as I get a 4 pin molex connector. But how do we know that switch isn't stuck or welded shut?

I could buy a turkey fryer, fill it with water, and drop the motor in but that feels a tad bit extreme.
