Rheem-Ruud 47-22861-05 Rollout Switch Overview
The Rheem-Ruud 47-22861-05 is an OEM replacement rollout switch designed to protect gas furnaces from the hazardous condition of flame rollout. When burner flames escape the heat exchanger and reach the switch, this thermal safety device interrupts the circuit to the gas valve, shutting down the furnace and preventing potential fire damage or carbon monoxide hazards.

Why Replace Your Rollout Switch?
A tripped or failed rollout switch is a serious safety indicator. If the switch has opened, it signals a potential problem such as a cracked heat exchanger, blocked flue, or inadequate combustion air — all of which require immediate attention. Replacing a faulty rollout switch with a genuine Rheem-Ruud OEM part ensures your furnace safety system performs as designed, protecting your equipment and the occupants of the building.
