D. SAIL SWITCH ASSEMBLY (GAS 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.
