Flame appears and disappears within 4 seconds of ignition
This type of failure indicates a flame rectification signal issue through the flame rod.
Is Flame sensor plug secure?
Fasten flame sensor plug securely to
flame sensor wire and check for
corrosion deposits at wire terminals
Check continuity of flame
sensor wire from flame sensor
to ignition control, J13-2
Remove flame sensor and clean
graphite flame sensor gasket
Replace sensor wire since corrosion
can affect the perceived flame signal
significantly and position it away from
the heat exchanger
