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, is the ignition component for the Tempstar TDE125J20A1 gas furnace. On a call for heat, the control board sends 120V to the igniter, which heats to roughly 2,000°F and lights the gas at the burners. This is a silicon nitride style igniter/sensor (HSP SK) — more durable and shock-resistant than older silicon carbide elements. A failed igniter is the most common cause of no-heat: the inducer runs and the board calls for ignition, but the burners never light and the unit blows cold air or locks out.

Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel.
Document — Photograph the igniter bracket and wiring before disconnecting.
Remove — Unplug the igniter harness, remove the mounting screw, and lift the old igniter out without touching the fragile element.
