Description
Midea Ionization Electrode with Gasket — SKU 7836489
The Midea 7836489 is an OEM-replacement ionization electrode supplied with a pre-fitted gasket, designed to restore accurate flame-sensing performance in compatible Midea gas-fired heating equipment. Ionization electrodes are a critical safety and ignition component — they detect the presence of a burner flame by measuring a small electrical current through the flame itself, signaling the control board to keep the gas valve open. A failed or fouled electrode can cause nuisance lockouts, failed ignition sequences, or unsafe operating conditions.
The included gasket ensures a proper, leak-free seal at the burner assembly mounting point, eliminating the need to source a separate sealing component and simplifying the service call.
Key Features
- OEM Midea replacement ionization electrode
- Includes pre-matched gasket for a complete, sealed installation
- Restores reliable flame detection and ignition control
- Helps prevent nuisance lockouts caused by weak or failed flame signal
- Designed for precise fit in compatible Midea heating systems
- Simplifies service by combining electrode and gasket in one part number
Application
This electrode is intended for use in Midea gas-fired furnaces and heating appliances that utilize ionization-based flame sensing. Always verify compatibility with the specific model and serial number of the equipment being serviced before installation.
Installation Notes
- Disconnect all power and gas supply before servicing
- Remove the existing electrode and gasket; clean the mounting surface
- Install the new gasket and electrode, torquing fasteners to manufacturer specification
- Restore power and verify flame signal strength at the control board after startup
