Re: Armstrong Ultra SX-90


our HVAC guy usually hits the flame sensor with a light emery cloth and it fixes the flame sensor problem...

Re: Armstrong Ultra SX-90


Thank you all
Here is what I did.
1 Cleaned flame sensor lightly with a nail file, very hard to get at.
2 Then I saw a burnt mark near a resistor on the curcuit board and start to clean and wiggle it.
3 replaced covers and reset unit and has been working for the last 18 hours
