The flame sensor — also called a flame rod — is a critical combustion safety component. It detects the presence of a flame during each ignition cycle by passing a small electrical current through the burner flame. When carbon buildup or corrosion degrades the rod, the furnace control board can no longer confirm ignition, causing the system to shut down the gas valve within 5–8 seconds of burner light-off. The result is a frustrating no-heat condition with repeated lockout codes. Replacing the sensor with this factory-matched OEM part restores full combustion confidence and eliminates nuisance lockouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e OEM Part # 50HJ401431 | Stainless steel sensing probe | Alumina-coated rod | Approx. 2.9″ W × 4″ D × 1.75″ H | Compatible with 24V AC furnace control circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM vs Generic:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a genuine Carrier OEM part — not an aftermarket substitute. OEM flame sensors are calibrated to exact microamp thresholds required by the Carrier control board. Generic sensors may read low, triggering false shutdowns or failing prematurely in demanding packaged-unit environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstall difficulty: 2\/5\u003c\/strong\u003e — Turn off gas and power before starting.
