    Awesome! You made me clean the flame sensor and that was my issue, you saved me at least $150! Thanks

    Gotta love the engineer who positioned that flame sensor! I have a magnetic tipped tool (looks like a radio antenna). I use that to hold the screw or flame sensor in place while I'm working.

      So true! I’ve cleaned so many sensors and this one is the worst positioned one of them all. Nice tip!

      Do you position the magnet under the sensor to hold it up? I’ve tried but can’t figure out a reliable way

    THANK YOU! Made it so easy for me. I can tell that you’re a natural at teaching and training. You even warned us about making sure a screw doesn’t fall into that tee hole! Only had to watch the video one time and got my heat back up and running.
    And not that age or gender matters here, but in an effort to encourage others; I’m a middle aged woman with zero HVAC skills 😂 If I can do it, you can do it!
    Thanks again for posting!

      I’m in the Seattle area too…this weather’s been crazy! It’s currently pouring rain while the sun shines 😂 At least this guy could help us out. Happy spring!

    Thanks for this! I had an issue where my furnace would run for about 5 mins then shut off. Went up in the attic and checked the flashing lights on the system, said to check the flame sensor! Followed your instructions and it seems to have fixed it, for now. I may go ahead and swap it to make sure the issue doesn't come back.

      Glad it’s back up and running. They get caked with carbon build up that gets harder and harder to clean as each winter season puts it to use. I try to clean it annually to prevent that but it’s easy enough and cheap enough to replace

  • @fblack1

    Thanks! Easy instructions although thankfully my sensor was super accessible and easy to remove. I know I should be doing this annually but I always forget haha. Thankfully this years Alberta winter has largely been warmer than usual.

    The removal of the flame sensor was easily shown, and cleaning was also not too difficult. It's incredible how a minor part may get filthy and lead to significant issues. We provide premium Lennox flame sensor and other Lennox furnace replacement parts.

    Only god knows what the people at Lennox are smoking. I can swap out 50 flame sensors for a Bryant unit compared to the time it takes to fuck around with this Lennox bullshit.

      I guess they were thinking why make it easy when it could be hard!
