This high-quality Flame Sensor Rod is a vital safety component specifically designed for Ruud and Rheem gas furnaces and HVAC systems. Its primary function is to monitor the burner's flame during the heating cycle using the principle of flame rectification. By confirming that a flame is present when the gas valve is open, it prevents the dangerous accumulation of unburned gas. Over time, these sensors can become coated in carbon or suffer from wear, leading to common furnace issues such as the system cycling off shortly after ignition or failing to stay lit. Replacing a faulty or corroded flame sensor is a standard maintenance step to ensure reliable furnace operation, improved safety, and efficient heating throughout the winter months.
