626421R Nordyne Hot Surface Ignition (HSI) Control Module
626421R Nordyne Hot Surface Ignition (HSI) Control Module
Product Overview
626421R is a genuine OEM Nordyne hot surface ignition control board offering 120/240 VAC line-voltage switching for HSI elements, 24 VAC control inputs up to 250 mA, and integrated flame sensing with LED diagnostics. Backed by a 1-year warranty, it replaces legacy Nordyne and Miller HSI modules and ensures reliable ignition sequencing and lock-out protection in gas furnaces.

Compatibility
This HSI control board fits Nordyne and Nordyne Miller gas furnaces originally equipped with 626421-series ignition controls, including the Model 1018-2 and 621-series furnaces. It also serves as a direct replacement on OEM private-label units built on the same HSI platform. Always confirm compatibility against the unit’s data plate and service manual.
Technician Notes
-
De-energize all line-voltage and control-voltage power and shut off the gas supply before servicing.
-
Tag, photograph, or diagram existing wiring harnesses and control-board connections for accurate reassembly.
-
Wear an ESD wrist strap and handle the control board by its edges to prevent static damage.
-
Remove the old board from its mounting bracket; inspect harness connectors for corrosion or wear.
-
Mount the new 626421R board onto the OEM bracket; ensure all harnesses seat fully into their keyed connectors.
-
Verify 24 VAC between R and C terminals with a multimeter before powering up.
-
Observe the board’s LED status indicators: a steady green light denotes normal operation; red flash codes indicate lock-out or ignition/fault conditions—refer to the OEM service manual for code definitions.
-
Initiate a heat call and confirm the sequence: inducer motor start, hot surface ignitor glow within ~15 seconds, gas valve actuation, and flame proving.
-
If ignition fails, count LED flashes, consult the manual, and test HSI element resistance (typically 70–100 Ω at room temperature) and 120 VAC output on the board’s HSI terminals.

CONTROL LIGHT STATUS
RED
1 Flash - the control is in lock-out because the inducer pressure switch is or was stuck closed.
2 Flashes - the control is in lockout because the signal was not received by the control that the inducer pressure switch had closed within the time.
3 Flashes - the control is in lockout because a failed ignition attempt, a gas valve error or a false flame sensed during the warm up period. If false flame has been sensed, the control will return to normal operation, and repeat ignition sequence when the false flame is not present.
4 Flashes - the control is in lockout due to a failure within the control board. Replace or repair the board.
