    You should try cleaning the sensors with emery cloth or a dollar bill. The sand paper and wire brush ones actually cause the sensor to get dirty faster and more issues with the rod.

      4/0 steel wool works great also

    Very straight foward and smooth call! I don't know if its just me, but cleaning the flame sensor is very satisfying. Also that inducer motor sounds like a blown civic engine idling.

    Great video ! Like u say testing is Allways best. NOT TESTING = GUESSING. Also - like u say - it’s awesome to see actual results from a Test. Bad reading before. Good reading when new part is installed / cleaned etc.

    Hell yeah. I do the same thing. If a customer decides to invest in an expensive repair I like to give them a little more value by checking gas pressure and cleaning up a few things for them.

      Supco flame rod cleaner. I keep one on each of my bags,I hang it off the zippers though to keep them clean. If you don't have that use a scotchbrite pad or fine steel wool. A dollar? Not cleaning much using a dollar bill. You can use the brown sandcloth with the holes in it as well just don't use blue monster sandcloth or actual sand paper since it has silica

      If the manifold gas pressure was not adjusted to manufacture specifications that will happen and also cause buildup on the burners and flame sensor. There should have been a lp sticker placed on the unit door for lp gas manifold pressure. The newer efficiency furnaces should be 2.3 iwc in low and 9.3 iwc in high fire.

      It looks like there is a return duct on the left as well. I guess there are 2 filters in the blower compartment. Or maybe some filter grilles.
