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 Tempstar 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.

Overview

This OEM hot surface igniter (part #1172533) is the ignition source for your Tempstar T8MPL100F20B2 gas furnace, paired here with the matching VR8205S snap-on gas valve (part #1175705). On each call for heat the control board energizes the igniter, which glows white-hot to ignite gas at the burners. Hot surface igniters are brittle silicon-carbide or nitride elements that crack from thermal cycling, fingerprints, or vibration. When the igniter fails, the furnace draft inducer runs and the gas valve never opens, leaving you with cold air or a furnace that locks out after several failed ignition attempts. Replacing the igniter and the gas valve together restores reliable, clean ignition.

Installation Guide

Access — Remove the burner-compartment service panel.
Document — Photograph the igniter bracket, gas valve wiring, and gas line connections before disconnecting.
Remove — Unplug the igniter harness and unscrew the igniter, handling it only by the ceramic base; disconnect the gas line and wiring to swap the valve if replacing it.
Install — Mount the new igniter without touching the element, then thread in the gas valve and reconnect gas and wiring per your photo.
Test — Restore gas and power, watch for a clean glow and burner ignition, and leak-check all gas joints with soap solution.
