Why Replace the Sail Switch?
A failing sail switch is a common cause of furnace problems. This part ensures the blower is moving enough air before gas ignition occurs. If the switch becomes dirty, damaged, or misaligned, the furnace may:
- Fail to ignite
- Shut down shortly after startup
- Blow cold air only
- Lock out for safety reasons
Replacing it restores proper operation and safe performance.
