An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

First blizzard warning in Wisconsin for over 10 years and our furnace decided to stop working this morning. At least I was home because of the weather. Still had to drive a hr round trip in the snow and hope the after market sensor works. It is, for now....
bimetal flame sensors like that can degrade over time especially if they are in the vicinity of your washer/dryer. if you use dryer sheets or fabric softener the waxy component of them can build up on the sensor. add in lint and dust and the sensor life can be cut drastically.
couple of old HVAC techs told me that you can get by in a pinch by rubbing a newish dollar bill along the sensor to clean it off. it's just abrasive enough to clean it and lint free enough to not leave anything behind.
might buy you a couple days to a couple months depending on how badly damaged the sensor is.
the best solution is to properly vent your dryer or move it entirely away from your HVAC unit.
