    If you have no dedicated flame sensor then the glow plug (HSI) is also the flame sensor. Even though it glows red to ignite, it may not be able to do its job of sensing flame.

    It is about the least expensive part to change, they don't always last very long. They were very fragile on older furnaces. Probably not cleanable without breaking.

    Let us know.
