Suburban 525024 Sail Switch – Furnace Low Air Flow Switch (Replaces 230509, NT & SF Series)

Product Overview

The Suburban 525024 Sail Switch (formerly part 230509) is a low air flow safety switch designed for a wide range of Suburban NT and SF series RV furnaces. This switch ensures the blower is moving sufficient air before allowing ignition, preventing unsafe operation.

If your furnace blower runs but the burner will not ignite, the sail switch is one of the most common causes. Replacing a faulty sail switch can quickly restore proper furnace function and reliable heat.

With broad compatibility across multiple Suburban furnace models, the 525024 is one of the most versatile and frequently used sail switches.
