IG401 – HOT SURFACE IGNITOR (AMANA)

If your furnace won’t light or only clicks without igniting, the hot surface ignitor is usually the fix. This silicon carbide ignitor is a direct replacement for Amana furnaces using part 767A-369 or D9918202A.

Replaces: 767A-369, D9918202A, 201A, 41-401, IG401

Fits: Amana gas furnaces using ignitor 767A-369 or D9918202A.

Cross-reference numbers

This part replaces the following OEM and aftermarket numbers:

• 201A
• 767A-369
• D9918202A
• IG401

Not sure if your number matches? Call (214) 340-9421 or bring the old part in — bench-testing is free.

Fits these models

• HSI hot-surface-ignition gas furnaces (most 80%+ AFUE units from 1990s onward)
• Verify voltage rating matches your existing HSI — installing the wrong voltage will burn the new one out instantly
• Bracket and connector geometry vary by OEM — bring the old part in to match

How do I test a hot surface ignitor?

Pull it out, check resistance with a multimeter across the leads. Healthy HSIs read roughly 40-90 ohms (80V) or 40-200 ohms (120V). Open circuit = dead. Bring it to the counter — we test these free.

Why does my new HSI keep failing?

HSIs fail from cycle stress and contamination. Common causes: dirty filter (overheats furnace, short-cycles), dirty flame sensor (forces re-light attempts), oversized furnace, or skin oils on the ceramic element. Fix the root cause when you replace.

How long should an HSI last?

3-7 years typical. Short-cycling burns through HSIs fast — address what's causing the short-cycling, not just the burned ignitor.
