The flame sensor is a critical safety component — it detects the presence of a burner flame via electrical current conduction through the flame rod and signals the integrated furnace control (IFC) board to keep the gas valve open. When the sensor fails or becomes coated with oxidation, the IFC board cannot confirm flame and will shut down the burner as a safety precaution, typically within 5–8 seconds of ignition. The result: the furnace lights briefly, then locks out — often requiring a manual reset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e OEM flame rod sensor | Factory-matched resistance and rod geometry | Designed for natural gas and propane operation | Direct plug-in connector for Carrier IFC board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM vs Generic:\u003c\/strong\u003e The OEM LH680013 meets Carrier's exact rod alloy and ceramic insulator specifications, ensuring reliable microamp current signal to the control board.
