OEM Carrier Flame Sensor Replacement Part for PY1PEB060115AAAA

The flame sensor in your Carrier PY1PEB060115AAAA gas furnace is the safety device that proves the burner actually lit. Once the igniter fires and the gas valve opens, the sensor's metal rod sits in the flame and passes a tiny rectified microamp current to the control board, telling it gas is burning. When the rod gets coated in carbon and oxide, that signal drops — so the furnace lights for a few seconds, then closes the gas valve as a safety. The classic symptom is short-cycling on heat: the burners ignite, run 3-7 seconds, then go out, often repeating until the board locks out and you get no heat. The flame sensor is a single stainless/Kanthal rod on an insulated ceramic base with a spade or screw terminal. A healthy sensor passes roughly 2-6 microamps of flame current; below about 0.5-1 µA the board will drop out. OEM sensors use the correct rod alloy, length, and insulator rating so the tip sits properly in the flame and reads a strong, stable signal. For a flame sensor, OEM fit matters because rod length and position determine flame contact. A generic sensor that's a hair too short or bent wrong sits at the edge of the flame, reads weak microamps, and causes the same intermittent lockouts you're trying to fix. Cheaper alloys also oxidize faster, shortening the interval before the next nuisance shutdown. Install difficulty: 1 of 5. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver or Phillips screwdriver, and fine emery cloth if cleaning the old rod first. #1 SAFETY WARNING: turn off the gas supply and shut power at the furnace switch or breaker before reaching into the burner area.
