Overview

This genuine OEM hot surface igniter (part number 1009524, IGNITOR/SENSOR HSP kit) is the ignition component for the Tempstar T8MPN050B12A1 gas furnace. On each call for heat, the furnace control board sends line voltage to the igniter, which glows red-hot and ignites the gas at the burners. The silicon nitride element is durable and resistant to the cracking and thermal shock that plague older carbide igniters. A failed igniter is one of the most common causes of no-heat calls — symptoms include the furnace clicking and the inducer running but the burners never lighting, or the system locking out after several failed ignition attempts. This kit includes the igniter and flame-sensing hardware needed for reliable, code-compliant operation.

Compatibility

Engineered as the factory ignition component for the Tempstar T8MPN050B12A1 gas furnace. Because ICP builds Tempstar, Heil, Comfortmaker and other family brands on shared platforms, part 1009524 also services many comparable ICP-built furnaces. Always confirm your unit's part number against the rating plate before ordering.

Installation Guide

  1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker, shut off the gas, and verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
  2. Access — Remove the furnace burner/service panel.
  3. Document — Photograph the igniter wiring and bracket position before disconnecting.
  4. Remove — Unplug the igniter harness and remove the mounting screw. Lift the old igniter out carefully — never touch the new element with bare fingers, as skin oils cause hot spots and premature failure.
  5. Install — Mount the new igniter so the element sits correctly in the burner flame path, reinstall the screw, and reconnect the harness per your photo.
  6. Test — Restore gas and power, run a heat cycle, and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light within the normal trial-for-ignition period.

Signs You Need a Replacement

  • Igniter does not glow on a call for heat
  • Visible cracks, chips, or white blistering on the element
  • Furnace locks out after 3 ignition attempts (rapid click sequence)
  • Inducer and gas valve cycle but burners never ignite

How do I replace the igniter on my Tempstar T8MPN050B12A1 — Silicon Nitride HSI/Sensor Kit | Ships Today?
Difficulty: Medium (20–30 min)
Step 1: Turn off power and gas. Step 2: Open furnace panel. Step 3: Locate igniter near burners. Step 4: Disconnect two-wire plug. Step 5: Remove mounting screw. Step 6: Install new igniter — do NOT touch element with fingers. Step 7: Reconnect, close panel, restore power/gas.
My furnace won’t ignite. What part is bad?
Furnace won’t ignite after the draft inducer runs = failed igniter. The hot surface igniter should glow bright orange within 60 seconds. No glow = cracked/burned out. Weak glow = degrading. Average lifespan: 3–7 years. Replacement: $15–$40 DIY.
Is this igniter compatible with Bryant or Payne too?
Many Tempstar parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.
Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my Tempstar igniter?
OEM recommended for reliability and warranty compatibility. OEM parts match exact factory specifications for proper fit, performance, and safety. While aftermarket alternatives cost less upfront, the risk of improper fit and reduced lifespan usually makes OEM the better value long-term.
How fast does National HVAC Parts ship?
