    The flame sensor is a double pole switch. When the glow bar generates enough heat to make it change positions, the switch mechanically changes positions to a different circuit. If it does that 3 times, with regularity and shuts down, there is probably a safety lockout function on the control board. My first impression would be a faulty flame sensor.
