Common Questions:
Will this igniter replace my old 903179 part?
Yes, the Nordyne 1046528 is the official manufacturer-designated replacement for 903179. It matches the original electrical and physical specifications exactly.
Can I use this in a 120V furnace?
No. This component is specifically rated for 208/230V operation. Always verify your unit's data plate voltage before installation to prevent component failure.
Why is my furnace blower running but the burners won't light?
If the furnace is not igniting, the HSI (Hot Surface Ignitor) may be cracked or failing. Check for 230V at the igniter plug during the startup sequence; if power is present but the glow bar remains dark, the igniter requires replacement.
