York S1-024-26098-000 Hot Surface Ignitor

The York S1-024-26098-000 Hot Surface Ignitor is a high-performance silicon carbide furnace igniter engineered for precision in residential and light commercial forced-air systems. As a critical OEM replacement part, it is designed to replace aging or cracked ignitors, restoring the direct spark ignition sequence essential for safe fuel combustion. This component operates by drawing voltage through a lead wire to heat the carbide element to temperatures exceeding 2500°F, ensuring rapid gas ignition without the need for a standing pilot. It is compatible with York, Coleman, Luxaire, and Source 1 heating equipment, fitting specific furnace models that utilize part number 024-26098-000. Built to withstand high-thermal stress cycles, this HVAC furnace igniter ensures your burner assembly fires consistently during cold-weather demands. For contractors, this is the 115V direct-fit solution required to eliminate nuisance "no-heat" calls and pressure switch code errors related to ignition failure.

Key Benefits for the Job Site

• OEM Reliability: Manufactured to the exact tolerances of Source 1 HVAC parts, maintaining the original efficiency and safety of the furnace.

Common Questions

How do I know if my York ignitor is bad?
Technicians should check for a visible crack on the carbide element or use a multimeter to test for continuity. If the hot surface ignitor shows infinite resistance (open circuit) or the control board displays an ignition failure code, the part likely requires replacement.

Is the S1-024-26098-000 compatible with Coleman furnaces?
Yes, because York and Coleman are both under the Johnson Controls/Source 1 umbrella, this 024-26098-000 igniter is the standard OEM replacement for cross-referenced Coleman and Luxaire models.

Does this ignitor include the lead wires and connector?
Yes, this assembly comes complete with the fixed lead wires and the specific plastic connector required for a direct-fit furnace repair, eliminating the need for wire stripping or nut-splicing in most applications.
