OEM Carrier 90° Flame Sensor with Mounting Bracket — Part 48GS400192 for Model PY3PEA036090NA

This is the genuine OEM Carrier flame sensor (part #48GS400192), factory-specified for the Carrier PY3PEA036090NA gas furnace. The flame sensor is a critical safety component that uses ionization/rectification technology to verify burner ignition during each heating cycle. When the flame sensor fails or becomes coated with oxidation, the furnace control board cannot confirm combustion is present — causing the unit to lock out after just 5–8 seconds of operation. If your furnace lights, runs briefly, then shuts down and repeats the cycle, a failed or fouled flame sensor is almost always the culprit.

  • Specs: 90-degree angle rod configuration | Includes factory mounting bracket | Dimensions approx. 4.9" × 1.75" × 1.6" | Direct OEM replacement for part #48GS400192
  • OEM vs Generic: This factory-original part is manufactured to Carrier's exact metallurgical and geometric tolerances. Aftermarket sensors can have rod coatings or bend angles that differ from spec, causing nuisance lockouts or false readings that shorten control board life.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Shut off gas and power before servicing. Tools needed: 1/4" hex driver, fine steel wool or emery cloth (to clean rod if reusing), multimeter (to verify microamp signal). Disconnect the single wire connector, remove one mounting screw, and swap in the new sensor. Job typically takes under 15 minutes.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM manufacturer warranty against defects. Orders placed before cutoff ship same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Engineered as the direct OEM replacement for the Carrier PY3PEA036090NA gas furnace. Always confirm your existing part number on the sensor body or equipment data plate before ordering. Our fitment team is available to verify compatibility before you buy — reach out before you order and we'll confirm the right part for your system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Flame Sensor fit my Carrier PY3PEA036090NA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM flame sensor for the Carrier PY3PEA036090NA. 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 PY3PEA036090NA?
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.
