Gas Ovens Flame Sensor Replacement Parts

Flame sensors are safety devices designed to detect whether a flame is present during operation. These sensors are crucial in gas appliances, ensuring that gas is only released when a flame is active, preventing the risk of gas leaks and potential explosions. If the flame goes out unexpectedly, the sensor signals the control board to shut off the gas supply.

Signs of a faulty flame sensor include the burner not staying lit, clicking sounds without ignition, or the oven shutting off shortly after turning on. Over time, flame sensors can become dirty or worn out. Regular cleaning with a gentle abrasive (like steel wool) can help, but if problems persist, replacement may be necessary.
