Changed out the flame sensor for our furnace.
Changed out the flame sensor for our furnace.
It’s attached to the white wire, top right. Looks like the piece in my hand. One scew holding it in. One electrical connection. And is basically a metal rod with a bit of porcelain insulator.
I got a universal part that I needed to bend to match the one in the furnace.
Symptoms were that it wouldn’t stay lit. It would try, light up for a second and go out. Exhaust fan stay on the whole time.
We got up normal time for work but she had off and I had a snow day. She noticed that it was getting cold in the house so I went to check. The furnace is plugged into an outlet mounted to the side of it’s self. The GFCI was tripped so I reset it. It came to life but just the fan. Then I heard it trying to light and fail a couple times. Looked up some videos about “my furnace won’t stay lit” and they all said start there. Just happened to be the problem.
