No documented supersedes or alternates. Always verify against your furnace’s data plate.


Compatibility

Fits Nordyne, Nortek, Coleman, Concord, and private-label gas furnaces requiring a 120 VAC silicon nitride ignitor with leads. Typical applications include spiral or round ignitors on single-stage and multi-stage gas furnaces.

Always confirm:

  • Element voltage and current requirements

  • Harness plug style and lead lengths

  • Mounting bracket fit and orientation


Technician Notes

  1. De-energize all power sources and shut off the gas supply before servicing.

  2. Remove furnace access panels; photograph or label existing ignitor wiring and bracket orientation.

  3. Handle the silicon nitride element by its ceramic base—do not touch the glowing surface.

  4. Remove the old ignitor, clean the mounting surface, and inspect the bracket for damage.

  5. Install the new ignitor, torque hardware to OEM specifications, and ensure proper alignment.

  6. Route and connect leads to the control board; apply dielectric grease on spade terminals as desired.

  7. Restore power, call for heat, and verify the element glows within ~15 seconds and the control board registers flame.

  8. If ignition faults persist, reference the control board’s LED codes and measure ignitor resistance (typically 70–100 Ω at room temperature).
