The flame sensor — also called a flame rod — is a safety component that detects the presence of a burner flame by measuring microamp current through the rod. When the sensor becomes coated with oxidation or carbon buildup, it can no longer reliably detect the flame, causing the control board to cut gas flow as a safety precaution. The result is a frustrating cycle: the furnace ignites normally, runs for 5–8 seconds, then shuts down and locks out. Replacing the flame sensor with a genuine OEM part restores proper operation and eliminates nuisance lockouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e OEM part number 48GS400192 | Factory-matched rod geometry and ceramic insulator | Correct microamp output range for Carrier control board compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM vs Generic:\u003c\/strong\u003e OEM flame sensors use the exact rod alloy and ceramic insulation specified by Carrier's engineering team. Generic alternatives may have slightly different rod lengths or tip geometry, which can produce inconsistent microamp readings and recurring lockouts — even after cleaning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstall Difficulty: 2\/5\u003c\/strong\u003e — Always shut off gas supply and 120V power before beginning.
