How do I clean a flame sensor?

Pull the sensor (usually one screw), rub the metal rod with fine emery cloth or a green Scotch-Brite pad until it's bright silver. Don't use sandpaper coarser than 600 grit. Reinstall, fire the furnace, see if it stays lit.

How do I test a flame sensor?

Put a DC microamp meter inline between the sensor and the control board. With flame present, you should read 2-6 µA. Below 1 µA = dirty or dead — clean first, then replace if cleaning doesn't help. Bring it to the counter, we test free.

How long should a flame sensor last?

5-10 heating seasons typical when kept clean. Hard-water condensate, high-mineral combustion air, or short-cycling all shorten it. Most flame sensor "failures" are just dirty buildup — clean before replacing.
