Temperature Sensors, Sail Switch | American Dryer Corp WDA-385

J. Temperature Sensors

The temperature sensor used in a transducer that converts heat into microamps that the computer board then uses to calculate the temperature.

K. Sail Switch

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