What igniter fits my Tempstar furnace?

The correct replacement for Tempstar model T8MPN150J20B1 — HSI | Ships Today 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 Tempstar equipment which lists the model number T8MPN150J20B1 — HSI | Ships Today.

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 (HSI, part #1172533) lights the gas burners on your Tempstar T8MPN150J20B1 furnace. When the thermostat calls for heat, the control board energizes the igniter, which glows white-hot and ignites the burner gas as the gas valve (compatible OEM valve #1172821, VR8205S) opens. Hot surface igniters are fragile ceramic elements that wear out from repeated heating cycles. The classic symptom of a failed HSI is a furnace that runs its inducer and blower but never produces heat because the burners fail to light. A cracked, broken, or non-glowing igniter is the most common cause of these no-heat calls.

Compatibility

Direct-fit replacement for the Tempstar T8MPN150J20B1 gas furnace. Also used across ICP-family furnaces (Tempstar, Heil, Comfortmaker, Arcoaire) sharing the same HSI ignition system. Handle the igniter only by its ceramic base — skin oils on the element can cause premature failure.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker, verify zero voltage with a multimeter, and shut off the gas supply.
Access — Remove the furnace burner compartment access panel.
Document — Photograph the igniter position and wiring connector before disconnecting.
Remove — Unplug the igniter connector, remove the mounting screw, and carefully withdraw the old igniter without touching nearby surfaces.
Install — Mount the new igniter handling it only by the ceramic base, then reconnect the wiring per your photo.
Test — Restore gas and power, then observe a full ignition cycle to confirm the igniter glows and the burners light.
