What igniter fits my Goodman furnace?

The correct replacement for Goodman model WFD18115S5CXCB — 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 WFD18115S5CXCB — 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 part engineered for the Goodman WFD18115S5CXCB gas furnace and compatible models.

This direct-fit silicon nitride ignitor restores reliable, fast ignition without the fragility of older silicon carbide designs.

OEM vs. Generic

Our OEM 20165703S ignitor is manufactured to Goodman's exact resistance and bracket spec for guaranteed alignment in the burner assembly and consistent ignition timing. Generic universal ignitors often require adapter brackets, may not match the furnace's ignition control timing, and typically fail sooner. For a furnace you rely on through winter, the factory part is the confident choice.

Installation Difficulty

Easy — 2 out of 5. Most homeowners can swap this ignitor in 15–20 minutes with a nut driver. Always disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker before servicing, and handle the ceramic element only by its bracket — skin oils shorten ignitor life. If you're unsure about gas appliance service, consult a licensed HVAC technician.
