OEM Carrier Flame Sensor (48GS400192) for Model PY3PNA048115AB
This is the genuine OEM Carrier flame sensor, part number 48GS400192, factory-specified for the Carrier PY3PNA048115AB gas furnace. The flame sensor is a critical safety component: after the hot surface igniter lights the burner, the sensor's rod detects the presence of flame via electrical rectification and sends a confirmation signal to the control board. When the sensor fails — typically due to oxidation or carbon buildup on the rod — the furnace will light briefly then shut down within 5–8 seconds, triggering a lockout fault. This is one of the most common furnace no-heat calls in the field.
