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.

Overview

This OEM hot surface igniter/sensor (part number 1009524) lights the burners in your Tempstar T8MPT050B12A1 furnace. Built on a durable silicon nitride element, it heats to ignition temperature on each heat call and integrates flame-sensing function ("IGNITOR/SENSOR HSP SK"). When an igniter cracks or wears out, the furnace fails to light, locks out after several attempts, or short-cycles with no heat. Silicon nitride igniters resist thermal shock far better than older silicon carbide units, delivering longer service life.
