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.

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.
