What igniter fits my Goodman furnace?

The correct replacement for Goodman model GMPE100-4A — 20261709S is this exact part. It is the factory-specified replacement with exact OEM specifications. Using a part with different specifications can cause equipment damage or void your warranty. You can verify this by checking the data plate on your Goodman equipment which lists the model number GMPE100-4A — 20261709S.

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.

The Goodman 20261709S Hot Surface Ignitor (HSI) is a genuine OEM part designed for the GMPE100-4A gas furnace. The hot surface ignitor is the component that glows red-hot to light the burners on each heating cycle. A failed or cracked ignitor is the single most common cause of a furnace that clicks but won't fire — replacing it restores dependable, on-demand ignition.

Specifications

Part Number: 20261709S
Type: Hot surface ignitor
Voltage: 120V line-voltage HSI
Element: High-durability silicon carbide/nitride
Equipment: Goodman gas furnace (GMPE100-4A)
Fit: Direct OEM replacement with factory mounting bracket and connector

OEM vs. Generic

The genuine OEM 20261709S arrives with the correct bracket, wire length, and plug so it drops directly into the burner assembly. Universal ignitor kits require you to match resistance, splice wires, and fabricate a mount — increasing the risk of a short-lived repair or a no-heat callback. OEM ensures correct ignition timing and long service life.

Installation Difficulty

Moderate. Expect 20–30 minutes. Shut off gas and power, unplug the ignitor connector, remove the mounting screw, and install the new unit — handle only by the ceramic base, never the fragile element, as skin oils and finger pressure crack the fragile tip. Cycle the furnace to confirm a clean, immediate light. If you're not comfortable working near the gas valve, hire a licensed technician.
