You literally saved my families life at 4am in the morning where it's freaking freezing here in Canada. I am the handy women of this house and this did the trick. Thank you so so much! Glad I came across this specific video. Wasn't so hard to take off the screw and cleaned it with a piece of paper as I didn't have a bill. Thank-you so so much! It's nice and toasty now.

We believe, we believe!! At first, we doubted it was the flame sensor. But after cleaning it with a new $1 bill, the furnace turned on AND STAYED ON. Oh my gosh, we did a happy dance right next to the furnace. Bless you FIX IT Home Improvement!! You guys are awesome!!
Same douted it was going to be the problem the whole time I fought to get it out. Once I seen it, I figured it was the problem, clean it. Fought it back in and was amazed it worked. Who puts them on top with the screw up and down.
I watched this video, and fixed my own furnace! Thanks so much! You saved me approximately $200! I had called a hvac repair service, but they were so expensive that I decided to look up a video. So grateful for this! My sensor is on a Goodman furnace and so it was to the left, and about 6 inches back, but it connected into the valves so I could see it hanging down where the flames would be. New ten dollar bills work well too! ;) Very grateful to you! Now I can add "master furnace repair tech" to my long list of pseudo-accomplishments!
Chris Shank same here, mine is a old 93 Goodman, and I spent 3 days trying to find out why my furnace kept cycling on and off and it was just that the flame sensor. And I’m not sure the condition yours was in but mine wasn’t that bad. However I still cleaned it, and still cleaned and it worked great!
Saaaaame. Goodman sucks. Mine kept cycling on and off and I was loathe to tell my landlord because he blames me if something breaks but now it works just fine. Calling a repair shop myself would have been a couple hundred easy for them to do the same thing I did for free. Love these tutorial videos so much.
I used a $20 dollar bill and it totally solved the problem man you are a genius.. Thank you!

My furnace was doing the same. I did as you instructed. Furnace is operating well again. Thank you.
We had a furnace technician our years ago, because I had no clue why my furnace wouldn’t work. He fixed it, of course, but was kind enough to teach me what you showed in this video. I find that I must do this once every fall or early winter. Definitely the sort of thing every home owner should know.
Just followed these instructions this weekend and it worked like a charm! Thank you so much for this video. Our furnace didn't look totally like that but seeing where the flame sensor was in the video and what it looked like when you pulled it out, I was able to determine where it was. Used a fresh dollar bill and it's been great since! Saved hundreds on the heating guys coming out! Thank you!

After one whole day of trouble shooting, replacing the Hot Start Ignitor which I broke when cleaning (watch out, they ARE brittle) and giving the flame sensor a clean, in position, I eventually came across your instructions and decided to pull the flame sensor out, give it a clean and refit it.
Didn't immediately fix the problem but the flame did burn a little longer before it went out. Loosened it off again, some minor repositioning, and hey presto my furnace is up and running again!
Thanks for your great, and informative video!
Another fix here. Thanks! Did the trick. 6 years old video, still saving lives!

FYI...I had a very similar situation where the furnace was cycling on and off, but as the cold air came on to cool the system it would remain in this state thus cooling the house and undoing all the heat. I did the above mentioned method and it didn't fix the issue however the flame sensor did need a cleaning. So I started doing some thinking and remembered that when it came time to change the filter I decided to change brands and put in one of the best filters on the market. After realizing this, I experimented by taking the filter out and running the system without it. That solved the problem and my unit started working properly. So what I did was buy a thinner more basic filter and the system works awesome now. The top tier filters were to thick and decreased air flow. When summer comes back around this will probably improve the cooling as well for I noticed it wasn't working properly. Hope this helps some of you.
Just tried your idea of removing the huge HEPA filter....and now the flames stay on! thanks for posting!

Furnace decided to stop on a cold Chicago December night. I figured the flame sensor was the problem; but I had no idea it could be fixed this easily. Thanks a lot - you saved me a ton of $$s.
My furnace was doing this, googled possible issue and came across this video. I used a fine grit drywall sanding sponge and wiped sensor down after cleaning, furnace fired right up and I end up looking like a hero to the wife and feel immensely proud of not calling the $90.00 per hour HVAC company. This may be the best, easiest to follow and comprehensive video for a DIY repair of any sort I’ve ever seen. Thanks.

This video saved you (and me!) what would have been a minimum $75 service visit.
@@garretjones5963 Count me in; just did it this morning. I can only imagine how much I would have had to troubleshoot with the Nest people before then paying some dude to come in for a service call. Time & Money saved, and I have a satisfied feeling. Triple win.
Took me longer to get the screw out and back in. On the furnace here it's at the top and a pain to get to and getting it back in I dropped it a couple times.
Thanks so much for this video! This was exactly the problem. I used an older one dollar bill, but didn't have much success. I switched to a crisp five and it worked perfectly! A huge help! Thanks again!

A pretty good video. Amazingly, I actually learned something I didn't know about furnaces. In the past, I've had to diagnose and repair furnaces without internet help. On the other hand, I'm quite certain that cleaning that thing will bring mine to life...I'm pretty sure mine has a piezo igniter. The house before this one had an ancient ('70s) furnace with a glow bar. Well, anything learned is valuable, and while I have the cover off, I'll clean that sensor...my extra fine sandpaper just happens to be only a few feet from the furnace. How convenient!
Excellent. Concise and accurate. My gas furnace flashes a code to direct you to the possible problem. (short blinks followed by long blinks of the red light on the circuit board correspond to numbers on a trouble shooting chart) With a little courage and great videos like this, the average DIY homeowner can save lots of time and money. I saved an additional $4 by using a new one dollar bill instead of the five.

How much longer will the flame sensor last if I used a $100 bill to clean it?
@@mirandasi8302 I disagree. Logic would dictate 20x longer than in the example video and 100x longer than a $1. With the cost of a new furnace, it would be cost effective to invest more in your initial cleaning and at minimum use $5 as shown in the video.

Been beating up the old Honeywell thermostat and getting it to randomly trigger the heating but it not having any correlation between temperature and setting. Living in Alaska, its been in the minus 5-10c and the heating was getting way too hot and then started not firing at all. Badly maintained system so changed the intake filter and made things worse. Every article said the thermostat would be at fault. Then I got lucky and came across this and one other YT video that showed me how to clean the sensor. Cleaned mine with a new kitchen green pad.

My house hasn't been above 58 degrees in a few years. Thid video was such a blessing for our family. All I could find in the house was a nail file and it worked. Thanks so much

Did this tonight. If the screw that held my sensor in wasn't so tight and difficult to get to, i could have done this in about 5 mins. Fired right up! Thank you!!!

Your video is awesome and gave me the courage to fix my furnace problem! I suspected it was a dirty flame sensor and, sure enough, I cleaned it and now my heat works. You saved me a lot of money! It's a cold night too, so thank you very much!!!

Your vid just saved me a late night call to a repair man on a well below freezing night. A few screws, a $1 bill and everything is back in order. Thank you.
Glad I could help

Great video - short and to the point. I have a Lennox furnace with a similar sensor setup and this video and your commentary helped to quickly resolve my issue within minutes. I struggled for a minute trying to pull the sensor out since it was L-shaped, but once I did, I cleaned it off with my handy dandy dollar bill and I was back in business with heat. Thank You.

An actual honest repair guy showed me how to do this last year and I forgot which wire it was! So, thanks for this!
OH MY GOD! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
I'm sure it seems like such a small thing to you, but you saved me hundreds of dollars and many days of a very cold home! I cannot thank you enough!
Glad I could help

I used a $20 bill so the furnace knew I was a heavy hitter and not to give me any more trouble. I didn't even remove the part to clean it... just reached in, rubbed it with the 20, and BINGO, worked like a charm! Thank you!!! The internet, you just gotta love this invention!
Ha, glad it was helpful.
