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 number 1009524 (IGNITOR/SENSOR HSP SK) — is the ignition component for the Tempstar TCK100J16A1 gas furnace. On each call for heat, the control board energizes the igniter, which glows to roughly 2,000°F to ignite the gas at the burners. A silicon-nitride hot surface element provides faster, more durable, and more reliable ignition than legacy carbide igniters. When this part fails, the furnace will not light and the system locks out after repeated trial-for-ignition attempts. Typical symptoms include no heat, a furnace that clicks but never fires, and a visibly cracked or no-longer-glowing element.

Access — Remove the furnace burner/control access panel.
Document — Photograph the igniter bracket and wiring before disconnecting.
Remove — Unplug the igniter harness and remove the mounting screw; handle the old igniter by the ceramic base only, never the element.

Test — Restore gas and power, then run a heat cycle and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light.
