Overview

This OEM hot surface igniter/sensor (part #1009524) lights the burners on your Tempstar TNE100J20A1 furnace. On each call for heat the control board energizes the igniter, which glows hot to ignite the gas at the burners; the same silicon nitride element family also provides robust, durable starts compared to older silicon carbide igniters. A cracked or worn igniter is the leading cause of no-heat calls: the inducer runs and the gas valve tries to open, but the burners never light and the furnace locks out. Hairline cracks, a no-glow condition, or repeated ignition lockouts all point to a failed igniter.

Compatibility

Engineered as the exact OEM replacement igniter for the Tempstar TNE100J20A1 furnace. This hot surface igniter is shared across many ICP-family gas furnaces (Tempstar, Heil, Comfortmaker, Arcoaire) using the same burner and ignition platform. Verify your existing igniter's mounting bracket and connector match before installing.

Installation Guide

  1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
  2. Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel.
  3. Document — Photograph the igniter position and wiring connector before disconnecting.
  4. Remove — Unplug the igniter connector and remove the mounting screw(s). Handle the new igniter by the bracket only — never touch the ceramic element.
  5. Install — Mount the new igniter so it aligns over the burner, then reconnect the wiring per your photo.
  6. Test — Restore power and run a heat cycle; confirm the igniter glows and the burners light cleanly.

Signs You Need a Replacement

  • Furnace no-heat with the inducer running but burners not lighting
  • Igniter does not glow on a call for heat
  • Visible cracks or breaks in the ceramic element
  • Repeated ignition lockouts or short cycling on startup

My furnace won’t ignite. What part is bad?
Furnace won’t ignite after the draft inducer runs = failed igniter. The hot surface igniter should glow bright orange within 60 seconds. No glow = cracked/burned out. Weak glow = degrading. Average lifespan: 3–7 years. Replacement: $15–$40 DIY.
Is this igniter compatible with Bryant or Payne too?
Many Tempstar parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.
Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my Tempstar igniter?
OEM recommended for reliability and warranty compatibility. OEM parts match exact factory specifications for proper fit, performance, and safety. While aftermarket alternatives cost less upfront, the risk of improper fit and reduced lifespan usually makes OEM the better value long-term.
