The Goodman B1401003S Spark Ignition Assembly is the genuine OEM electrode assembly that generates the ignition spark and senses flame on the GUX040-3 gas furnace. It mounts at the burner and provides the high-voltage spark that lights the gas, then confirms flame so the control board keeps the gas valve open. A cracked ceramic insulator, eroded electrode, or carbon buildup shows up as no ignition, delayed light-off, or nuisance lockouts.
Correct electrode gap and positioning relative to the burner are critical for reliable light-off. This genuine Goodman assembly arrives pre-set to factory geometry. Generic electrodes often need manual bending to fit and can misfire or fail flame sensing, leading to repeat lockouts. OEM gives you plug-and-go reliability.
Moderate. Typically one or two mounting screws and a spark-wire connector, but positioning near the burner matters. A handy homeowner can do it; when in doubt use an HVAC technician. Always shut off power and gas first.
