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) is the ignition source for your Tempstar T9MPX060F12A2 gas furnace. On each heat call the control board energizes the igniter, which glows red-hot to ignite the gas released by the VR8205S gas valve (OEM 1175705). HSIs are a wear item — the silicon carbide or silicon nitride element becomes brittle with thermal cycling and eventually cracks or fails to reach ignition temperature, leaving you with no heat. A no-ignition lockout, where the furnace tries several times and then shuts down, is the classic symptom of a failed igniter.

Compatibility

Direct-fit replacement for the Tempstar T9MPX060F12A2 gas furnace and paired with the snap-mount Honeywell VR8205S gas valve (1175705). The 1172533 igniter is shared across many ICP, Heil, Comfortmaker, and Carrier-built furnaces using the same burner assembly. Handle the element by the ceramic base only — skin oils shorten igniter life.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Shut off the gas, disconnect power at the switch and breaker, and verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel.
Document — Photograph the igniter bracket position and wiring harness before disconnecting.
Remove — Unplug the igniter connector, remove the mounting screw, and carefully withdraw the old igniter without touching the new element.
Install — Mount the new HSI in the exact bracket position, holding it by the ceramic base, and reconnect the harness.
Test — Restore gas and power, start a heat call, and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light within the normal trial-for-ignition window.

Signs You Need a Replacement
