First check
1 Measure µA while it is running
Do not clean first and guess. Series-µA the rod on Bryant 581J during a call. Falling µA is oxide, ground, or a dying flame. A hard drop is often the pressure switch or limit opening, not the rod. Rod position, oxide, ground to the heat-exchanger box — painted screw fails this.
Expect: Flame rod: µA DC per the IGC sticker in this heat section. Rising while running.
The rest of the walkthrough is Diagnose.
On the plates
- Rod position, oxide, ground to the heat-exchanger box — painted screw fails this.
- µA DC on the IGC sense lead. Rising while running is the goal.
- Valve that chatters from low inlet pressure looks like a dirty rod.
