FAQs

This sensor is designed for use in Lennox, Armstrong, and Ducane furnace systems. It is compatible with a wide range of units, including the EL180 and ML18UH series.
This part replaces 69W43 and cross-references with part numbers 69W4301, LB-74940B, and LB74940B.
A failing flame sensor typically causes the furnace to ignite for a few seconds and then immediately shut down. This happens because the sensor is unable to detect the flame, triggering a safety lockout to prevent gas buildup.
Installation is straightforward and generally requires only a 1/4-inch nut driver or a screwdriver to remove the mounting screw and disconnect the wire terminal. The sensor features a 3/16-inch male terminal for an easy plug-in connection.
Flame sensors fail primarily due to the buildup of carbon deposits or oxidation on the sensing rod. Over time, this insulating layer prevents the sensor from completing the electrical circuit with the flame, causing the control board to incorrectly assume the burner has not lit.
You can sometimes restore function by gently cleaning the rod with a fine-grit abrasive pad or steel wool to remove carbon buildup. However, if the ceramic insulator is cracked or the rod is heavily pitted, the sensor must be replaced to ensure safe and reliable furnace operation.
