Amana-Goodman 10735201 Flame Sensor

The Amana-Goodman 10735201 Flame Sensor is a critical safety component for high-efficiency gas furnaces and packaged units. Featuring a precision 90 degree bend, this OEM replacement part is engineered for specific burner alignment to ensure accurate furnace flame rectification. In a typical sequence of operation, this Goodman flame sensor monitors the microamp signal sent through the flame; if the sensor's high-temperature rod fails to detect ion flow, the integrated ignition control module will terminate the gas valve circuit to prevent hazardous fuel buildup. Common indicators for replacing a furnace flame sensor include intermittent ignition cycles or short-cycling where the furnace shuts down after just a few seconds of burner activity. Designed as a direct fit for numerous Amana HVAC units and Goodman furnaces, the 10735201 provides the reliable conductivity required by modern control boards to maintain stable heating performance in residential and light commercial applications.

• Precise Alignment: The 90 degree bend ensures the sensing rod is positioned directly within the pilot or main burner flame path for consistent milliamp readings.
• OEM Compatibility: A direct replacement for Goodman 10735201, reducing diagnostic time and ensuring the mounting bracket fits existing heat exchanger configurations.
• High-Temperature Durability: Constructed with specialized ceramic insulation and metallic alloys built to withstand the rigorous thermal environment of a burner assembly.
• System Safety: Restores the essential flame-sensing circuit to prevent unburned gas from entering the flue or indoor space.

How do I know if my Amana-Goodman flame sensor is bad?
If your furnace ignites but shuts off within 2 to 5 seconds, the sensor likely has carbon buildup or internal resistance. Technicians should test the DC microamp signal; a reading below the manufacturer’s threshold (typically 0.5 to 1.0 µA) indicates the 10735201 needs cleaning or replacement.

Can I clean the 10735201 Flame Sensor instead of replacing it?
While light oxidation can sometimes be removed with a fine abrasive pad, persistent furnace lockout often indicates that the ceramic insulator is cracked or the metal has degraded, necessitating a full component replacement.

Will this work with both Amana and Goodman gas furnaces?
Yes, this HVAC replacement part is a standard component across several generations of parent-company Daikin brands, provided the original part number matches the 10735201 specification.
