OEM Carrier Flame Sensor 50HJ401431 for Model PY1RPA072074ACWA

This is the genuine OEM Carrier flame sensor, part number 50HJ401431, factory-specified for the Carrier PY1RPA072074ACWA packaged rooftop unit. The flame sensor (also called a flame rod) monitors the burner flame during every ignition cycle by passing a small microamp current through the flame to ground. When the sensor is coated with carbon deposits or has failed, the control board receives no confirmation signal and shuts off the gas valve — typically within 5 to 8 seconds of ignition — triggering a safety lockout. Replacing this sensor is one of the most common and cost-effective repairs in commercial packaged HVAC service.

  • Specs: OEM part # 50HJ401431 | Stainless steel sensing rod | Alumina-coated probe for corrosion resistance | Dimensions: 2.9″ W × 4″ D × 1.75″ H | Weight: 0.09 lbs | Compatible with 24V AC control circuits
  • OEM vs Generic: This factory OEM sensor is calibrated to exact microamp thresholds required by the Carrier control board on the PY1RPA072074ACWA. Generic sensors with loose tolerances can cause nuisance lockouts or fail to detect marginal flames, creating a safety hazard.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Shut off gas supply and disconnect power before servicing. Tools needed: 1/4″ hex driver, needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter capable of measuring microamps (µA) to verify sensor output post-install. Always confirm flame signal reads 1.5–4 µA DC after replacement.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. In-stock units ship same business day when ordered by 3 PM local time.

Compatibility: Engineered for the Carrier PY1RPA072074ACWA packaged rooftop gas/electric unit. Verify OEM part number 50HJ401431 against your unit's service data label before ordering. Our HVAC parts specialists are available to confirm fitment — reach out before you order if you have any questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Flame Sensor fit my Carrier PY1RPA072074ACWA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM flame sensor for the Carrier PY1RPA072074ACWA. It is a direct drop-in replacement that fits without modification. Always verify the model number on your equipment nameplate before ordering.
How do I replace the flame sensor on my Carrier PY1RPA072074ACWA?
Difficulty: Easy (10–15 min)
Step 1: Turn off power/gas. Step 2: Open furnace panel. Step 3: Locate flame sensor rod near burners. Step 4: Remove single mounting screw. Step 5: Clean rod with 400-grit sandpaper until shiny (or replace). Step 6: Reinstall and tighten. Most common furnace repair — saves $150–$300 vs technician.
My furnace lights then shuts off after a few seconds. Why?
Furnace lights then shuts off after 3–10 seconds = dirty flame sensor in 90% of cases. The sensor can’t detect flame through oxidation buildup. Fix: clean with 400-grit sandpaper (free, 15 min). If cleaning doesn’t work, replace the sensor.
Is this flame sensor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?
Many Carrier parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.
Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my Carrier flame sensor?
OEM recommended for reliability and warranty compatibility. OEM parts match exact factory specifications for proper fit, performance, and safety. While aftermarket alternatives cost less upfront, the risk of improper fit and reduced lifespan usually makes OEM the better value long-term.
