Furnace/Thermostat Issue

[pashue]

I found this HSI and it is working fine. It gets red hot and then acually turns white a little, the flames go blazzing and then it shuts off. So, I cleaned the heat sensor probe and it now has worked fine for the past several days.

I found the HSI but found it is working fine.

I cleaned the heat sensor probe, which did the trick. The heat has been working perfectly since then. I actually just rubbed it with my thumb and finger because I could not reach far enough to do a better job. Plus, I could not see how this probe comes out. It doesn not turn nor does it want yo be pulled straight out and I see no other means of removal/attachment. If it comes out from behind, I did not want to try that.

Any suggestions on how this probe is removed? The probe is the 45 degree angle version.

Thanks.

it may just go through a hole in the bracket and has a circular spring clip - looks like a washer with teeth going towards its center. a screwdriver at different places may pry it off.
