OEM Carrier Flame Sensor with Wire LH680014 for Model PG8UAA024045ABJA

This is the factory OEM replacement flame sensor with wire harness for the Carrier PG8UAA024045ABJA packaged gas unit. The flame sensor — also called a flame rod — is a safety device that detects the presence of a burner flame by passing a small DC current through the flame itself. When the sensor becomes coated with oxidation or carbon buildup, its ability to conduct that signal degrades, causing the control board to cut the gas valve within 5–8 seconds of ignition as a safety precaution. The result: the furnace lights briefly, then shuts off and goes into lockout — often mistaken for a failed igniter or gas valve. Replacing this OEM sensor restores proper flame signal strength and reliable heat.

• Specs: Factory OEM flame rod with pre-attached wire harness | Exact mounting bracket angle and rod length matched to Carrier PG8UAA024045ABJA burner assembly | Part Number: LH680014
• OEM vs Generic: OEM sensors feature the correct rod alloy composition and wire gauge specified by Carrier engineering. Generic sensors may have incorrect rod geometry or thinner wire insulation, risking intermittent flame signal or premature failure in high-temperature environments.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Shut off gas and disconnect power before servicing. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver or flat-head screwdriver (bracket screw), needle-nose pliers. Disconnect the wire lead, remove the single mounting screw, slide out the old sensor, reverse to install. Clean the burner surface at the rod tip if carbon buildup is present. No soldering required — wire harness is included.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM manufacturer warranty. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.
