The flame sensor — also called a flame rod or flame rectifier — is a safety device that monitors whether a flame is actually present after the igniter fires. It passes a small electrical current through the burner flame; if no flame is detected within a few seconds, the control board shuts down the gas valve to prevent unburned gas from accumulating. When the sensor becomes coated with oxidation or carbon buildup, or the rod itself fails, the furnace will light briefly and then shut off after 5–8 seconds, cycling repeatedly without producing heat. Replacing this sensor is one of the most common and cost-effective furnace repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straight rod design | Probe length: 3 inches | High-quality ceramic insulator | Factory-matched electrical resistance tolerance | OEM part #LH680013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM vs Generic:\u003c\/strong\u003e This genuine Carrier OEM sensor meets exact factory resistance and ceramic insulation specs. Aftermarket sensors can have inconsistent rod coatings and looser tolerances, causing nuisance shutdowns or premature re-failure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstall difficulty: 2\/5\u003c\/strong\u003e — Turn off power and gas before servicing. Tools needed: 1\/4\" hex driver or nut driver, wire connector. Locate the sensor on the burner assembly, disconnect the single wire harness, remove one mounting screw, and install the new sensor. Always verify correct seating of the ceramic insulator. Takes approximately 15–30 minutes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-year OEM factory warranty.
