Description
The Amana-Goodman B1172601 is a genuine OEM flame sensor designed as a direct replacement for compatible Amana and Goodman gas furnaces. Flame sensors are a critical safety component in any gas furnace — they detect the presence of a burner flame and signal the control board to keep the gas valve open. A failed or fouled flame sensor is one of the most common causes of furnace short-cycling and no-heat calls, making this an essential part for any HVAC technician’s service inventory.
Why Replace Your Flame Sensor?
Over time, flame sensors accumulate oxidation and residue on the sensing rod, which reduces electrical conductivity and causes the furnace to shut down prematurely. Replacing the sensor with a genuine OEM part restores proper flame detection and ensures the furnace operates safely and efficiently.
