What igniter fits my Goodman furnace?

My furnace will not ignite. What part is bad?

A furnace that will not ignite after the draft inducer runs typically has a failed igniter. The hot surface igniter should glow bright orange within 60 seconds. If it does not glow at all, it is cracked or burned out. If it glows weakly, it is degrading and should be replaced preventively. Average lifespan: 3 to 7 years.

Is this igniter compatible with Bryant or Payne systems too?

Many Goodman parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne systems since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across multiple brand labels with different model numbers. To verify cross-compatibility, check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or contact info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number for confirmation.

Goodman B1401012 Hot Surface Igniter

The Goodman B1401012 is a genuine OEM hot surface igniter engineered as a direct-fit replacement for Goodman GMNT040-3 gas furnaces and compatible Goodman/Amana models. When your furnace clicks but the burners fail to light, a cracked or worn igniter is the most common culprit. This silicon carbide element heats to ignition temperature within seconds, delivering the consistent, reliable light-off your heating system depends on through the winter.

Type: Hot surface igniter (silicon carbide element)

OEM vs. Generic

This is a true Goodman OEM igniter — built to the exact resistance, mounting, and connector spec of the factory part, so it drops in without adapters or rewiring. Generic aftermarket igniters are cheaper up front but often vary in element density and heat-up time, leading to short-cycling or premature failure. For a component this critical to safe ignition, OEM is the smart long-term value.

Installation Difficulty

Easy (1 of 5). Cut power at the furnace switch, remove the burner-compartment door, unplug the old igniter, remove one or two mounting screws, and reverse to install. Handle the fragile silicon carbide element by the ceramic base only — never touch the igniter tip. Most homeowners complete this in under 15 minutes. If you are unsure, consult a licensed HVAC technician.
