What igniter fits my Goodman furnace?

The correct replacement for Goodman model WFD18045S3AXCC — 20165703S is this exact part. It is the factory-specified replacement with exact OEM specifications.

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 genuine Goodman 20165703S Hot Surface Ignitor is the factory-original ignition component for the WFD18045S3AXCC gas furnace.

OEM vs. Generic

Our OEM Goodman ignitor is engineered to the exact resistance and heat-up curve the WFD18045S3AXCC control board expects, ensuring correct timing and long service life. Lower-cost universal ignitors can work but often require adapter harnesses, run hotter or cooler than spec, and fail prematurely. For a furnace you rely on through winter, the OEM part is the safe choice.

Installation Difficulty

Easy (1 of 5). Shut off power and gas, remove the burner access panel, unplug the old ignitor, remove one or two mounting screws, and reverse the process. Handle the ceramic element by the base only — skin oils can shorten its life. Most DIYers complete this in 15–20 minutes. If you are not comfortable working near the gas manifold, hire a licensed technician.
