Full Diagnosis

Flame Sensor Out of Sequence. Flame sensed when gas valve should be closed.

All Recorded Causes

Stuck gas valve, shorted wire.

Verify Before Replacing Parts

  1. Confirm the exact Lennox model family and e-codes context before acting on a generic code description.
  2. Walk the entire heating sequence in order instead of jumping straight to the reported code, watching for stuck gas valve, shorted wire.
  3. Verify each safety device and prove where the sequence stops under live operation, including whether the next candidate on the list.
  4. After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the e-codes fault does not return under normal load.
