    Its not the flame sensor, or is it?
    Upon turning on the thermostat for the first time this fall, the furnace did not start up. I've summarized below what specifically is happening, the error codes I've received and the steps I've attempted. I am not sure what to try next to resolve this. Thanks in advance for your advice/tips.

    Details of Problem
    HSI lights, gas flows through all 4 burners and ignites, HSI dims and gas shuts off, flame out. After 3 attempts, the red LED light flashes 4 times.

    Steps I've taken
    Cleaned flame sensor- retested - no fix
    Replaced flame sensor with generic part (not an exact match) - retested - no fix
    Cleaned all 4 gas burners - retested - no fix
    Re-positioned sensor to be fully engulfed in flame - retested - no fix

    Details of Furnace and Parts
    Olsen H/E gas furnace -G95V060-3 - installed in 2008
    Flame sensor (original) ICP model 1380687 (replaced with generic sensor - no product details)
    All wiring and connections appear "as installed" with no obvious signs of breaks/disconnections.
