Carrier 38YCG036 Flame Sensor
The flame sensor can only be found on furnaces that burn a gas. It is a safety sensor that will consistently detect the acceptable flame during ignition. As you would probably could have guessed, if the flame sensor gets set off the system remains completely shut down until the main issue is remedied.
What red flags are there that my safety flame sensor is about to go out?
- The furnace is unwilling to supply heat when the control board tells it to
- The gas entering the furnace will not even try to burn and the board throws an error
- The furnace will run intermittently when it wants to
