Sail Switch Gas and Electric Models Only | ADC 450428 specification

J. SAIL SWITCH (Gas and Electric Models Only)

The sail switch is located on the front of the burner box for gas dryers on the right side of the oven assembly for electric dryers. A sail switch consists of a round damper plate on a lever arm which is in contact with an electric switch. When the air blower comes on, it draws air through the gas or electric burner. This creates a negative pressure inside the burner box, and this negative pressure pulls in the round damper and activates the sail switch. If there is improper airflow, the damper will not pull in, preventing the burner from coming on. Improper airflow can be caused by improperly designed exhaust ducting where the duct run is too long or has too many sharp bends in it. It can also be caused by a lack of make-up air.

K. HI-LIMIT (Gas and Electric Models Only)

A hi-limit thermostat is located at the burner. This is an manual reset disc-type thermostat set at 330º F (166º C) for gas dryers and at 290º F (143º C) for electric dryers. If the flame in the burner should get too hot, this thermostat will shut off the burner. This is generally caused by low airflow through the dryer.

L. MANUAL RESET THERMOSTAT

This is located inside the dryer in the lint compartment above the lint screen. This thermostat senses the heated air after it passes through the tumbler (basket). If the air temperature gets too hot, the thermostat will shut off the burner. The dryer will not run until the air temperature cools down. At this time, the manual reset thermostat must be reset manually or the 24 VAC burner circuit will never be completed. Tumbler (Basket) and blower will run but the dryer will not heat. If the temperature sensor opens the display will read “TEMP SENSOR FAIL CHECK TEMP SENSOR FUSE” with an audio indication. If the thermostat opens the display will read “dRUM SAFETY FAIL” with an audio indication.
