Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100111830 Flame Rod
The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100111830 Flame Rod is a critical genuine OEM flame sensor designed for precise flame rectification in high-efficiency water heaters. Engineered specifically for the GDHE-50-NG and GDHE-50 Cyclone series, this component monitors the burner's flame signal to ensure the integrated control board maintains a safe combustion cycle. When a water heater flame rod becomes carbon-fouled or oxidized, it fails to send the necessary microamp signal, leading to nuisance lockouts and ignition failure. Replacing a worn sensor with this factory-spec 100111830 ensures the flame ionization process remains accurate, preventing unburned gas accumulation. As a vital HVAC repair part, it provides the exact resistance and thermal durability required for the intense environment of the Lochinvar Cyclone burner assembly, maintaining system up-time and operational safety for commercial and residential plumbing applications.
Key Technical Benefits:
- OEM Compatibility: Exact fit for A.O. Smith GDHE-50 models, eliminating mounting alignment issues common with universal sensors.
- High-Conductivity Material: Constructed to withstand high combustion temperatures while delivering a consistent microamp signal to the controller.
- System Reliability: Solves diagnostic errors related to "no flame sensed" or short cycling during the ignition sequence.
- Safety Compliance: Ensures the gas valve closes immediately if the burner flame is lost, meeting strict safety protocols.
Common Questions:
What are the symptoms of a failing 100111830 Flame Rod?
Common indicators include the burner igniting for a few seconds and then shutting down, or the GDHE-50-NG water heater throwing a "Flame Failure" or "Low Flame Signal" error code. Cleaning may provide a temporary fix, but pitting or cracks in the ceramic insulator require a full replacement.
Is this a universal flame sensor?
No, the Lochinvar 100111830 is a specific OEM replacement part. Using a non-specified rod can result in incorrect resistance readings, causing the control board to reject the signal even if a flame is present.
Can I test this flame rod with a multimeter?
Yes, technicians can measure the DC microamps (µA) in series with the flame rod wire while the burner is firing. If the reading is below the manufacturer's specified threshold for the Cyclone GDHE series, the rod typically needs replacement.
