❓ Common Questions

Q: The sail switch trips but the exhaust seems clear what else could cause this?

A: Check for a cracked or broken blower wheel fin, a seized blower bearing, or a blower belt failure. Any of these will reduce airflow enough to trip the sail switch even with a clear exhaust duct. Verify blower operation before replacing the switch.
