D.SAIL SWITCH ASSEMBLY (Gas and Electric Models Only)

The sail switch is a heat circuit safety device which controls the burner circuit only. When the dryer is operating and there is proper airflow, the sail switch damper pulls in and closes the sail switch. Providing ALL the other heat-related circuits are functioning properly, ignition should now be established. If an improper airflow occurs, the sail switch damper will release, and the circuit will open.

To Replace Sail Switch

1. Discontinue electrical power to the dryer.

2.Remove the two (2) screws which hold the sail switch box cover to sail switch box.

3. Disconnect the two (2) wires from the switch.

4. Disassemble sail switch from mounting bracket by removing the two (2) screws securing switch in place.

5. Reverse this procedure for installing new sail switch. Adjust sail switch as described in the next section.

To Adjust Sail Switch

With the dryer operating at a high temperature setting, pull the sail switch damper away from the burner. The sail switch should open and extinguish the burner. The dryer will continue to run for three (3) minutes or until 100º F (38º C) is reached. The computer will display no airflow. If the sail switch circuit does not operate as described, bend the actuator arm of the sail switch accordingly until proper operation is achieved. To check proper “open” position of sail switch, open main door, manually depress main door switch, and start dryer. With the main door open and the dryer operating, the sail switch circuit should be open, and the burner should not come on. The computer will display no airflow.

CAUTION: DO NOT abort this switch by taping or screwing sail switch damper to burner.

PERSONAL INJURY or FIRE COULD RESULT.

E.FRONT PANEL and MAIN DOOR ASSEMBLIES To Replace Main Door Switch

1. Discontinue electrical power to the dryer.

2. Open main door.

3. Remove the two (2) Phillips head screws holding the main door switch bracket assembly in place.

4. Disconnect wiring from switch assembly.

5. Remove the two (2) screws which secure the switch to the housing.
