The flame sensor — also called a flame rod — is a critical safety component mounted in the burner assembly. It uses electrical current rectification to confirm the presence of an active flame during each ignition cycle. When the sensor fails or becomes coated with oxidation residue, the control board cannot verify combustion, causing the burner to shut down within 5–8 seconds of ignition as a safety lockout. The result: a system that lights briefly then cuts out repeatedly, leaving occupants without heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e OEM Part #50HJ401431 | Stainless steel sensing probe | Alumina-coated rod for corrosion resistance | 24V AC control circuit compatible | Dimensions approx. 2.9\" W × 4\" D × 1.75\" H | Weight: 0.09 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM vs Generic:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a genuine Carrier OEM part — not a universal aftermarket substitute.
