Heil Quaker ICP 1172827 Flame Sensor

The Heil Quaker ICP 1172827 Flame Sensor is a vital OEM replacement part engineered for ICP furnace repair across several major brands, including Tempstar, Comfortmaker, and Arcoaire. This 20-degree style sensor is a critical furnace safety component designed to monitor the burner's flame during the combustion cycle. When the heat from the burner hits the stainless steel rod, it generates a microamp signal that notifies the furnace control board that it is safe to keep the gas valve open. If your unit is short cycling or experiencing ignition lockout, a carbon-fouled or cracked flame sensor is the most likely culprit. Technical specifications include a total length of 2-11/16 inches with a 7/8-inch bracket, ensuring a precise fit in the burner assembly of compatible Heil Quaker heating systems. For professional HVAC troubleshooting, verifying the microamp signal is the standard procedure to determine if this ICP 1172827 sensor requires replacement to restore reliable system operation.

• Direct OEM Compatibility: Specifically designed to replace the Heil Quaker ICP 1172827, ensuring exact electrical resistance and physical mounting alignment.
• System Security: Prevents hazardous gas accumulation by initiating an immediate safety shutdown if the flame is not detected within seconds of ignition.
• High-Temperature Durability: Constructed with high-grade stainless steel and a reinforced porcelain insulator to withstand the extreme environment of the burner flame.
• Restores Efficiency: Eliminates nuisance service calls caused by furnace burners won't stay lit errors and inconsistent heating cycles.

• Why does my furnace shut off after only 5 to 10 seconds? This is the classic symptom of a failed flame sensor. The system ignites but lacks the microamp feedback signal, causing the controller to close the gas valve for safety.
• Can I just clean the 1172827 sensor or must I replace it? While cleaning with a light abrasive can temporarily remove oxidation, cracks in the porcelain or deep pitting in the rod require a full OEM replacement to ensure consistent conductivity.
• Which furnace brands use this specific ICP part? This part is widely used in International Comfort Products (ICP) equipment, including Heil, Quaker, Snyder General, Day & Night, and KeepRite models.
