OEM Carrier Flame Sensor 48GS400192 for Model PY2PNB042060AA
This OEM flame sensor (part number 48GS400192) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PY2PNB042060AA gas furnace. The flame sensor is a critical safety component that detects the presence of a burner flame using an ionization/rectification method — it passes a small electrical current through the flame and confirms combustion is active. When the sensor becomes coated with oxidation or fails entirely, the furnace control board cannot verify ignition, causing the system to shut off the gas valve within 5–8 seconds and enter a safety lockout.
