C. Sail Switch Assembly

The sail switch is a heat circuit safety device which controls the heat circuit ONLY. When the dryer is operating and there is proper air flow the sail switch damper pulls in and closes the sail switch. Providing all the other heat-related circuits are functioning properly. If an improper air flow occurs, the sail switch damper will release, and the circuit will open.

IMPORTANT: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD HEAT CIRCUIT SAFETY DEVICES EVER BE DISABLED.
