Sail Switch or Something Else?
Suburban SF-30F about six years old. Problem has been ongoing for several years but now has hit critical.
Every once in a while over the years the unit would fail to light, shut down, I would turn off and let it reset. Sometimes it would start, sometimes not. Take the grill off, bang around and it would fire up. Sometimes it would cycle 3-5 times then fail to light. Other times it will run for days and not give a problem.
Batteries are good and charged and it makes no difference if on shore power or not.
My first thought is sail switch, but the fact that banging around in the cabinet or driving makes me wonder if something else.
I don't mind throwing some parts at it since I need to pull it anyway but any ideas?
I am guessing that the intake/exhaust tubes are kind of a press fit into the exterior ports. Am I correct or is there some sort of gasket that I need?
