Is it time to replace?

• Common Symptoms: Burner does not remain lit, heat is intermittent, or diagnosis points to the flame-sensing circuit.
• Visible/Sensory Cues: Damaged sensor surface, burned connector, broken lead, contamination, or an electrical reading outside the service specification.

Pro Tip: Inspect the igniter, gas valve coils, burner flame, wiring, and venting before replacing the sensor so the underlying combustion problem is not missed.
