Bad flame sensor Goodman furnace
A bad flame sensor, also referred to as a defective flame sensor or an intermittent flame sensor, can cause the furnace to stop heating, and many people might not be aware of it.
A defective or intermittent flame sensor disturbs the control system from detecting the heat from the burner, thereby causing the furnace to stop heating.
A bad flame sensor is the most common cause of a furnace going out. A furnace will go out if it detects that the flame has gone out, and you need to turn it back on.
A bad sensor can also cause your furnace to go off when the air in your home starts getting too dry. This is because a dryer has less humidity than normal air, which can be confused for a flame is off.
If your temperature is set too high, like 70 or 80 degrees Fahrenheit, then this will also cause your furnace to shut down.
