Furnace Hot Surface Ignitor / Igniter Fits Goodman 201657-03S

Smooth transaction. The right product as I expected. No issues.

Was exactly like first picture.. Installed quick and worked instantly.. Perfect

Item comes snugly packaged in foam within an OEM Goodman box. The connector mated perfectly with my Amana (Goodman) furnace connector and the ignitor is currently functioning flawlessly. The older igniters were thinner and had a central groove, the new one is slightly thicker with no groove. A little research reveals this is an update/upgrade in both design and material, intended to be more durable. I can certainly live with that!

Perfect fit, easy to install, saved me hundreds of dollars for a service call. Test your furnace before heating season to give yourself time to fix it.

Ordered yesterday as furnace went out the previous night. Woke up to a cold home. Watched a brief tutorial on my Goodman furnace on YouTube and figured out problem was either igniter or temp rod. Pulled out igniter to clean and it was broken. Ordered ignitor. Received the next day. 5 minute install. Furnace works. Only reason I did not score it 5 stars is that ignitor is slightly different than one pictured as it is not thermally protected wire. I think it should last for a bit however.

It looks different than the original one on our furnace but once replaced it works perfectly.

This is identical to what was in my furnace. The one that was in there might have been replaced at some point. I lived in the house for 5 years, so the old one lasted at least that long. Replacing this part is very easy if you have a small 1/4" ratchet.

The Ignitor I received did not look like the one in the picture, BUT I am okay with that. The connector was the same and I personally think the design of what I received may be better. Instead of having the opening on the metal surface, it is solid like some of the other buyers pictures. I’m hoping this resolves the problem I’ve been having with them cracking and no longer working. It was easy to install (no splicing wires like some of the universal types). The length of the metal surface was longer than one I purchased locally that was too short and wouldn’t work. The furnace now fires up on the first attempt instead of the 3rd attempt with the old ignitor. This was also considerably cheaper than the ones I’ve purchased locally and it arrived a day earlier than expected. If you can wait for shipping, I would recommend this part. I’m considering ordering a spare just in case I need another one in the future.
