The Goodman B1401018S Hot Surface Ignitor is the genuine OEM igniter for GSM100-4 gas furnaces and compatible Goodman/Amana models. When the thermostat calls for heat, the control board energizes this igniter until it glows red-hot, lighting the main burners. It is one of the most common wear items in any hot-surface-ignition furnace.
A cracked or failed ignitor is the leading cause of no-heat calls: the inducer runs, but the burners never light and the furnace locks out. This durable silicon-nitride-style element resists thermal shock and delivers fast, consistent light-off cycle after cycle.
OEM vs. Generic: The OEM B1401018S arrives with the correct bracket and plug so it drops straight in with no rewiring. Universal ignitor kits can work but require adapting the harness and bending the bracket, and cheaper carbide elements are more brittle. For fastest, most reliable installation choose OEM.
Install difficulty: Easy (2/5). Shut off power, unplug the igniter connector, remove one or two mounting screws, and reverse to install. Handle the fragile element by the ceramic base only — never touch the glowing tip. About 15 minutes.
