I was quoted $400.00 for a weekend replacement of an igniter that was intermittently working. I'm not mechanically inclined but I was able to order one on Amazon and do it myself the next day for $30.00 in 15 minutes. I was looking at unscrewing 3 tiny screws and clipping a connection and couldn't bring myself to pay $400.00 for that. If you are on the fence about doing it yourself, go for it!
It should be noted you should only touch the ceramic. You shouldn't touch the igniter, oil from your hands can cause premature failure of a new igniter. Good video! Keep it up.
I think I need a igniter. But i cant do it. So if it goes out, would the furnace give a error code flashing light? Because my furnace has no flashing light error codes. It just has a slow steady flashing light and it says thats normal. But i got no hot air. Its only cool and i dont see any flames when i look at it. So im just guessing it has to be the igniter. But i dont know. I checked the filter and its good. So im lost.

Excellent easy to follow video. Ignitors like to go out on a very cold Sunday night. I keep a spare , new furnace igniter on hand just in case.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!
Nice video you save me a lot of money thanks big bro
great video and thank you
You forgot the part about...DON'T SNEEZE!!!! 😁👌
Thank u dear
there are two different in size or length in that one , so which one is the correct one. 402 , 401 , 409 ?
Appreciate the video. Do I have to shut down the breaker or just turn switch off on furnace
I’ve heard that the silicon nitrate ones aren’t so super fragile? How can a diy get it ? Some places sell only to companies
what would charge for this? or igniter and flame rod?

Ignitor is in but furnace won't turn on. Is there a step i'm missing?
Good explanation
Yeah it’s super fragile and I broke it the old one coming out which wasn’t working .
Does it matter what wires go together?
