The Flame Sensor on Your IBC Boiler

The flame sensor (flame-rectification probe) confirms a flame is actually burning. If it cannot detect flame, the control shuts the gas off within seconds. A dirty or failed sensor causes the boiler to light then drop out repeatedly.

On IBC systems — including models such as SL 20-160, VFC 15-150, V-10 — a failing flame sensor often shows up as ignition lockout or related symptoms. We diagnose it precisely and install the correct genuine IBC part.
