Robertshaw 10-760 Flame Sensor
Field-proven for high-heat environments, the Robertshaw 10-760 Flame Sensor is a reliable flame rectification replacement for a broad range of residential and commercial furnace ignition systems. This universal probe features a high-grade Kanthal sensor rod designed to withstand sustained exposure up to 1800°F (982°C) without degradation. The 4-inch rod is engineered for field modification, allowing technicians to cut or bend the lead to match specific burner configurations or OEM flame sensor geometries. Its 30-inch Teflon insulated lead wire carries a 482°F (250°C) thermal rating, ensuring signal integrity near the heat exchanger. Terminated with a standard 1/4-inch spade quick connect, the Robertshaw 10-760 simplifies troubleshooting for "no flame sensed" errors and ignition lockouts. Whether you are replacing a White-Rodgers 760-401 or a Goodman 0130F00010, this assembly provides the precision microamp signal required by modern integrated furnace controls to maintain safe combustion cycles.
Key Benefits
- Kanthal Alloy Probe: Rated for 1800°F to prevent warping or carbon buildup during high-cycle operation.
- Field-Adaptable Design: The 4-inch sensor can be customized in the field to meet exact furnace part compatibility requirements.
- Industrial-Grade Insulation: 30-inch PTFE (Teflon) lead wire maintains a high 482°F rating for routing through narrow burner vestibules.
- Universal Application: High-performance cross-reference for numerous OEM furnace sensors, including White-Rodgers and Goodman units.
Common Questions
How do I test a Robertshaw 10-760 for failure?
Set your multimeter to the microamps (µA) scale and connect it in series with the sensor wire. A healthy flame signal typically ranges between 2.0 to 6.0 µA; steady readings below 1.0 µA usually indicate a dirty or failing probe.
Can the sensor rod be shortened for small burner housings?
Yes, the 10-760 is specifically designed to be cut and shaped to match the original equipment's dimensions, provided you maintain proper placement within the flame's path.
Will this stop an ignition lockout on my control board?
If the board provides spark or hot surface ignition but cuts the gas valve after a few seconds, a carbon-fouled or oxidized flame sensor is the most common culprit. This part restores the flame rectification signal to prevent safety shut-offs.
