What igniter fits my Goodman furnace?

The correct replacement for Goodman model GMV80703BXA — 20165703S 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 GMV80703BXA — 20165703S.

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 20165703S Hot Surface Ignitor is a genuine OEM replacement engineered for the GMV80703BXA two-stage 80% AFUE gas furnace and compatible Goodman/Amana 80% platforms.

Specifications

OEM Part Number: 20165703S
Type: Hot surface ignitor (silicon nitride element)
Fits: Goodman GMV80703BXA and related 80% AFUE furnaces
Voltage: 120V line-voltage ignition
Includes mounting bracket and wire lead with connector

OEM vs. Generic

Our OEM Goodman ignitor uses a rugged silicon-nitride element rated for tens of thousands of ignition cycles and a factory-matched bracket for exact alignment at the burner. Generic aftermarket ignitors may fit but often use brittle silicon-carbide elements that crack sooner and can sit at the wrong flame-sensing depth. For furnace-critical ignition, OEM is the safe choice.

Installation Difficulty

Easy (1/5). Shut off power and gas, remove one mounting screw, unplug the connector, and swap. Handle the ignitor element by the ceramic base only — never touch the coated tip. Most homeowners complete this in under 15 minutes.
