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/sensor (HSP) ignites the gas burners on the Tempstar T8DNL050B12A1 gas furnace. On a call for heat the control board energizes the silicon-nitride element, which heats rapidly to light the burners and, on combined igniter/sensor designs, also confirms flame presence. Silicon-nitride HSP igniters are more durable than older silicon-carbide elements but still wear out with cycling. A failing unit causes no ignition, short cycling, repeated ignition lockouts, or a furnace that lights then drops out when flame is not sensed. This listing covers OEM part 1009524 (IGNITOR/SENSOR HSP SK).
