RV furnace troubleshooting - is it the sail switch?

Описание: 🔥 RV Furnace Troubleshooting — Understanding and Testing the Sail Switch

In this video, I dive into the RV furnace sail switch — what it does, why it matters, and how to properly test and troubleshoot it when your furnace isn’t firing up the way it should.

The sail switch is a critical safety and control component inside your RV’s forced-air furnace. Its job is to make sure the blower fan is moving enough air before the burner ignites — protecting the system from overheating or incomplete combustion. If your furnace blower runs but you’re not getting ignition, a faulty or dirty sail switch is often the reason.

💡 In this video, I cover:
• What the sail switch is and how it works inside an RV furnace
• Common symptoms of a bad sail switch
• How to safely access and inspect the switch
• Step-by-step guide to testing the sail switch with a multimeter
• Tips to clean or replace it the right way
• Real-world examples from RV furnace repairs and winter setups

This is a great video for DIY RV owners, technicians in training, or anyone trying to better understand how their Suburban, Dometic, or Atwood furnace operates. Whether your furnace won’t light, runs the fan but won’t heat, or just acts inconsistent — this guide walks through the process clearly and safely.

⚙️ Furnaces Covered:
Suburban SF series • Dometic/Atwood models • Common 12V RV furnaces
