International Comfort Products 1179975 OEM Furnace Sensor Electrode

The International Comfort Products 1179975 is a genuine OEM sensor electrode designed as a direct replacement for ICP gas furnaces. Also commonly referred to as a flame sense electrode or flame sensor rod, this component plays a critical role in furnace safety and operation by detecting the presence of a burner flame during each heating cycle.

During normal furnace operation, the sensor electrode monitors the burner to confirm that ignition has occurred. If the control board does not receive a signal from the electrode within a few seconds of the gas valve opening, it will shut off the gas supply to prevent unsafe accumulation. A failed or contaminated electrode is one of the most common causes of a furnace that lights briefly and then shuts down (short-cycling).

• Direct fit — no modification required for compatible ICP, Heil, Tempstar, Arcoaire, and Comfortmaker furnace models
