The flame sensor is a critical safety component — a stainless steel rod positioned in the burner flame path that uses flame rectification to verify combustion is present. When working correctly, it allows the control board to keep the gas valve open. When it fails or becomes coated with oxidation, the control board can no longer confirm flame presence and will shut the burner off within 5–8 seconds of ignition, triggering a lockout fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e OEM part #50HJ401431 | Stainless steel sensing rod | Alumina-coated probe | Dimensions approx. 2.9\" W × 4\" D × 1.75\" H | Compatible with standard 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 — factory-matched probe geometry and coating ensure accurate microamp signal output to the control board.
