Heil Quaker ICP 1380679 Flame Sensor

The Heil Quaker ICP 1380679 Flame Sensor is a critical safety component engineered for precise flame rectification in high-efficiency gas furnaces. As a veteran technician knows, furnace short cycling or a 6-flash error code on the integrated furnace control (IFC) often points directly to a fouled or failing HVAC flame probe. This OEM-spec sensor features a high-grade Kanthal flame rod and a durable ceramic insulator, designed to withstand the intense thermal environment of the burner assembly while maintaining a consistent microamp signal back to the board.

This ICP 1380679 replacement ensures the gas valve remains energized only when a stable flame is proven, preventing hazardous unburned gas accumulation. It is a direct fit for Heil, Comfortmaker, Tempstar, and Arcoaire units, replacing legacy part numbers 1001358 and 1006242. Designed for rapid hot surface ignition (HSI) systems, this furnace ignition sensor includes a 1/4-inch quick-connect terminal for efficient field installation. Maintaining a clean flame sensor rod is essential for preventing nuisance lockouts and ensuring optimal combustion performance during heavy heating cycles.

• OEM Compatibility: Exact drop-in replacement for Heil Quaker and ICP brand furnaces, ensuring proper alignment with the burner flame.
• Precision Sensing: Optimized for accurate flame signal detection to eliminate intermittent furnace shutdowns.
• Rugged Construction: Features high-temperature ceramic insulation to prevent electrical leakage to ground.
• Simplified Installation: Standard single-screw mounting and quick-connect terminal for fast replacement on service calls.

How do I know if the flame sensor is faulty?
If the burners ignite but shut off within 2 to 5 seconds, the system is likely failing to "prove" the flame. Check for a weak microamp signal (typically 1.0 to 5.0 ?A DC) or visible carbon buildup and oxidation on the rod.

Can I clean this sensor instead of replacing it?
While cleaning with a fine abrasive pad can temporarily restore a signal, the protective coating on the rod degrades over time. For long-term reliability and to avoid repeat service calls, replacing the 1380679 sensor is the professional standard.

Does this fit all ICP gas furnaces?
It fits a wide range of 80% and 90%+ AFUE models. Always verify your specific model number on the rating plate to ensure this straight-rod configuration matches your burner?s geometry.
