If the flame sensor is defective, it might fail to detect a flame. If the flame sensor does not detect a flame, the co…ntrol board will shut off voltage to the gas valve to prevent the furnace from heating. Sometimes, if the flame sensor is dirty, it will fail to detect a flame.
What should I do if my heater is not working?
