OEM Carrier Flame Sensor for PY2PEB060130AB Packaged Furnace

The flame sensor in your Carrier PY2PEB060130AB packaged unit is a single metal rod that proves the burners ignited on every heat cycle. Through flame rectification, the flame surrounding the rod allows a small microamp current to flow back to the control board, which keeps the gas valve energized. Over time the rod oxidizes and collects carbon, the signal fades, and the board shuts the gas off for safety. The classic symptoms are a furnace that fires for a few seconds then quits, burners that pulse on and off every few seconds, repeated short-cycling, and a hard no-heat lockout after three failed ignition attempts. This is a stainless/Kanthal rod with a ceramic insulator and a single-wire spade or screw terminal. A strong flame signal typically reads 1–6 µA; the board drops out as the signal collapses toward zero. The rod length, bend, and mounting bracket must match so the tip seats inside the flame envelope. With flame sensors, OEM geometry is what keeps your furnace reliable. Generic rods use thinner steel that oxidizes faster, and an incorrect length or angle leaves the tip outside the flame, producing a weak, unstable microamp reading and frequent nuisance lockouts. A genuine Carrier rod restores a clean, dependable signal. Install difficulty: 2 of 5. Tools: 1/4" nut driver, fine emery cloth or Scotch-Brite pad, and a multimeter that reads microamps. Safety: shut off the gas supply and kill the power at the disconnect before removing the sensor. Ships same business day from our stocked warehouse on orders placed before 3 PM CST.
