Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100327014 Sensor
As an experienced HVAC technician, you know that the Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100327014 Sensor is a critical safety component for maintaining FVIR system integrity. This flammable vapor sensor serves as the first line of defense in residential and commercial gas water heaters, specifically engineered to detect the presence of combustible hydrocarbon vapors near the air intake. When a concentration exceeding the safe threshold is measured, the sensor triggers a change in resistance—typically monitored by the gas control valve—which initiates a safety lockout to prevent potential ignition. This 100327014 model is a genuine OEM part and the direct replacement for 100170433, ensuring full compatibility with your current wiring harness and mounting bracket. For contractors, installing a high-quality A.O. Smith replacement part like this sensor is essential for resolving the common "7-flash" error code and ensuring the appliance remains compliant with local safety codes. Proper calibration and a secure fit within the protective housing are required to restore reliable operation and air quality monitoring.
Key Benefits
- Direct OEM Replacement: Engineered as the specific successor to the 100170433 sensor, providing seamless integration with A.O. Smith and Lochinvar gas water heaters.
- Advanced Vapor Detection: Utilizes chemical-absorption technology to monitor air intake for flammable vapors, preventing ignition in hazardous environments.
- System Protection: Communicates directly with the gas control lockout mechanism to shut down the burner and pilot during a safety incident.
- Easy Installation: Designed with standard two-pin terminal connectors for a quick swap in the field, minimizing downtime for your clients.
Common Questions
What causes a flammable vapor sensor lockout?
A lockout is often triggered by gasoline fumes, but can also be caused by household chemicals like bleach, ammonia, or paint thinners. If the area is clear of vapors but the 7-flash code persists, the sensor may have failed due to moisture or physical contamination.
Can I reset the sensor after it has been triggered?
While some gas valves allow for a manual reset procedure once the area is ventilated, manufacturers typically recommend replacing the 100327014 sensor if it has been exposed to a significant vapor incident to ensure accurate future readings.
How do I test if the sensor is faulty?
You can test the sensor using a multimeter to check for continuity or specific resistance values. A failed sensor will often show an open circuit or resistance outside the standard 50k-ohm range required by the control module.
