The MC 31093MC is a replacement sail switch designed for select Atwood AFS and AFM Series furnaces. This sail switch functions as an air proving device and critical safety component that prevents ignition until it detects 75% of the motor's RPM, ensuring the combustion wheel rotates fast enough to create a proper air and gas mixture for smooth ignition.
