Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100277290 Rod
The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100277290 Flame Rod is a critical safety component engineered for precise flame rectification in high-efficiency gas-fired heating systems. As a veteran technician knows, flame sensor troubleshooting often begins when a unit short cycles or fails to prove flame within the standard 4-second ignition window. This OEM furnace flame sensor is designed to communicate directly with the control board, converting AC voltage to a DC microamp signal (typically 1.0 to 10.0 µA) to confirm combustion and prevent hazardous gas accumulation. Built with a high-grade ceramic insulator to prevent internal grounding and a durable metal probe for consistent heat resistance, this rod is a direct replacement for models like the FBL6000 and FBN6000. When performing HVAC maintenance, replacing a carbon-fouled or cracked rod ensures reliable boiler flame detection and prevents nuisance lockouts during peak demand cycles.
Key Benefits for the Contractor:- Precise Flame Sensing: Optimized for flame rectification, providing stable DC microamp feedback to the ignition module.
- Direct OEM Compatibility: Specifically designed for Lochinvar and A.O. Smith commercial boilers and water heaters, including the FBL/FBN series.
- Reliable Safety Integration: Prevents unburned gas flow by ensuring the gas valve closes immediately if the flame signal is lost.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Features a robust porcelain insulator and heat-resistant probe to withstand high-combustion environments without warping.
- What are the signs of a failing 100277290 rod? The most common symptom is the burner igniting and then shutting down after safe-start timing (usually 3–5 seconds), often accompanied by an ignition failure error code on the board.
- What should the microamp reading be? While specific to the control board, a healthy Lochinvar flame rod typically produces a reading above 2.0 microamps; readings below 1.0 µA usually indicate soot buildup or a failing insulator.
- Can this rod be cleaned? While light oxidation can be removed with a fine abrasive pad, any cracks in the ceramic or significant pitting on the metal require a full flame sensor replacement to ensure system reliability.
