OEM Carrier Gas Furnace Flame Sensor Rod for PG8DAA060135ABJA

The flame sensor in your Carrier PG8DAA060135ABJA furnace is a single metal rod positioned in the burner flame that confirms, through microamp flame rectification, that gas is genuinely igniting. Over time the rod accumulates carbon and silica deposits, corrodes, or cracks, and the control board can no longer detect the flame. The burners light, the furnace runs a few seconds, then the gas valve closes and the cycle restarts. The homeowner experiences short-cycling, repeated igniter clicking, intermittent cold air from the vents, and ultimately a hard lockout after several failed ignition trials. This is a Kanthal/stainless sensing rod mounted on a ceramic insulator, with rod length and bend angle matched to the PG8DAA burner assembly so the tip sits in the hottest zone of the flame. A sound sensor returns roughly 1-6 microamps DC; readings under about 1 microamp produce loss-of-flame faults. OEM matters because a generic rod with a different length, gauge, or insulator height mis-locates the tip and yields a weak, unstable signal the board interprets as 'no flame'—causing nuisance lockouts that mimic a far more serious failure and lead to needless parts replacement. Install difficulty: 1 of 5. Tools: 1/4" nut driver, fine emery cloth or Scotch-Brite pad, and a multimeter with a microamp DC range to confirm the flame signal. #1 safety warning: shut off both the gas supply and electrical power at the furnace before removing the sensor, and never handle the sensing tip with bare fingers.
