vent blower (working) replaced last year
limit switches (working)
vacuum tube is clear
Pressure switch (working outside of unit)
problem: not enough vacuum to trip pressure switch

What's the pressure/vacuum at the switch and what's the switch rated
for?

It's virtually zero. I don't have meter/guage but it will barely hold
a dime size piece of paper towel. Tonight I plan on taking of vent
blower to see if trash has fell near opening. Does it have a baffle
to seperate vent and hose fitting?

You need to determine the pressure/vacuum exactly. A gauge to do so
will cost around $100. That and the pressure/vacuum the switch is
designed to operate on and you know where the problem lies.

BTW, they rate the switches in inches wc, not what size paper towel
the tube will hold.

You can't seriously expect to come into a newsgroup of professionals
and get any sort of serious response without providing the information
needed to correctly diagnose the problem. alt.home.repair is the
proper place for group guessing.
