OEM Carrier Flame Sensor 50HJ401431 for Model PY1RJA060115AAWA

This is the genuine OEM Carrier flame sensor (part #50HJ401431) factory-specified for the Carrier PY1RJA060115AAWA packaged gas heating unit. The flame sensor — also called a flame rod — is a critical safety component that uses electrical current rectification to confirm an active burner flame. When the control board energizes the gas valve and igniter, it simultaneously monitors the flame sensor for a microamp signal. A failed or contaminated sensor cannot generate that signal, causing the control board to cut gas flow within 5–8 seconds as a safety lockout. The result: your unit lights briefly, then shuts off — cycling repeatedly without ever achieving a full heating run.

• Specs: OEM part #50HJ401431 | Stainless steel sensing probe | Alumina-coated rod | Dimensions approx. 2.9" W × 4" D × 1.75" H | Weight 0.09 lbs | Compatible with 24V AC control circuits
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier OEM part — not an aftermarket substitute. OEM sensors are calibrated to the exact microamp threshold your control board expects. Generic flame sensors often fall outside tolerance, causing nuisance lockouts or premature refailure.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — One mounting screw and one push-on wire connector. Tools needed: 1/4" or 5/16" nut driver, fine steel wool or light sandpaper (to clean rod if reusing), multimeter (to verify microamp draw post-install). Always shut off gas and 120V power before servicing.
• Warranty & Shipping: 1-year OEM manufacturer warranty against defects. In stock — ships same business day when ordered before cutoff. No minimum order required.

Compatibility: Designed as the factory-direct replacement for Carrier model PY1RJA060115AAWA packaged gas/electric units. Cross-references may apply to additional Carrier, Bryant, and Payne models sharing the same burner assembly — verify your unit's OEM part number on the data plate or wiring diagram before ordering.
