OEM Carrier 90° Flame Sensor with Mounting Bracket for Model PY3GNA042090NB

This is the genuine OEM Carrier flame sensor (part #48GS400192) factory-specified for the Carrier PY3GNA042090NB gas furnace. The flame sensor — also called a flame rod — is a critical safety component that uses ionization/rectification technology to confirm that a burner flame is present after ignition. If the control board doesn't detect a valid flame signal within a few seconds of the gas valve opening, it cuts gas flow and locks out the furnace. A failed or dirty flame sensor is one of the most common causes of a furnace that starts, runs briefly, then shuts off after 5–8 seconds — often triggering a repeated ignition lockout.

  • Specs: 90° angled rod configuration | Includes factory mounting bracket | Approx. dimensions: 4.9" H × 1.75" W × 1.6" rod length | OEM part #48GS400192
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier OEM part — not an aftermarket substitute. OEM flame sensors maintain exact rod geometry and metallurgy, ensuring consistent microamp output and reliable flame signal. Aftermarket rods can produce weak or erratic readings, causing nuisance lockouts even on a good burner.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Turn off power and gas before servicing. Locate the sensor on the burner assembly, disconnect the single wire connector, remove the mounting screw, and swap in the new sensor. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver or flat-head screwdriver. Tip: lightly sand the rod with fine steel wool if replacing due to coating buildup, and verify microamp signal (≥1.0 µA) with a multimeter after install.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against manufacturing defects. Ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PY3GNA042090NB gas furnace. Verify part number 48GS400192 against your unit's data plate or wiring diagram before ordering. Our fitment team is available to confirm compatibility — just reach out before you buy. In stock and ready to ship today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Flame Sensor fit my Carrier PY3GNA042090NB?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM flame sensor for the Carrier PY3GNA042090NB. 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 PY3GNA042090NB?
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.
