My Amana furnace does not start. Is it the igniter?

when your furnace starts the ignitor should glow if not has to be replaced it could be your flame sensor

Possibly. Look at the dark grey / black end of your current ignitor, if there is a break in the element, then it should be replaced.

It could be. You would hear the gas running to start for a little bit but the burners would just not light.

You will have to watch the furnace try to cycle, if you hear a click and the ignitor does not glow/get hot, then it is the ignitor. If the ignitor starts to glow, then there is something else wrong.

Joanne, when I got my heater (also from Amazon), the C-cells for the igniter were very old and not very good. Have you tried replacing the batteries with new alkalines?

Clean the burner mechanism with rag and water where the flame comes from.that clogs,and affects the built in thermostat and causes it to do that.if that don't work then u need a new one

I have a Weber two burner grill and the replacement igniter worked perfectly.

Sorry, mine is just a replacement furnace thermostat. I know nothing about it.

Is the ignitor working but not firing engine? If so, ignitor is not deep enough down into engine. If ignitor not burning, could be batteries or connection.

For the igniter. They go in the small compartment on the bottom of the unit. IF they are not in place the heater won't start.

Considering my burner created an open flame within seconds of plugging it in, I unfortunately wasn't able to have it on long enough to find out about the base. My particular unit may have just been a defective one, but be forewarned!

Same problem with me. I returned it for another stove but is still not having a flame

Turn the gas on to the first stop. Listen for gas flow from the burner and count out 15 sec. Then hit the ignighter. You should hear the click from the burner area and it will light. Is not, let gass vent for 5 min then sweep glass / rocks away from ignighter area and check that it is sparking. If it is repeat above. The gass need to build up just a little to ignight, so do not have your face over the burner area. Also watch out the first time you heat it up as the will crack along faults as it heats up.

Check the wire to the piezo igniter. Those are good for thousands and thousands of ignitions. Otherwise use a lighter by the pilot light to start it.

This looks like the one that is on my Rudd Sihouette furnace. However, mine's rather old, and previous techs have cut the plug and wire nutted it in place, so it can work. Just make sure to not touch the ignition with your bare hand because oils from your hand can make it prematurely burn up. I'm not a HVAC tech, just a DIYer that is tired of being charged 175$ to replace a 15$ part.

The engines are flawless. Check the whole launch chain starting with the battery and check all connections. Try burning an igniter by itself. If you can get the igniter to burn, the rocket will launch. Always be careful to not ground any part of the electrical launch system on the metal launch pad. I've had trouble with the clips that connect to the igniter. Good Luck

Did you check to ensure there is no fouling of the ignition wire? This happened on my previous torch and I never could get the igniter clean enough to use again...so I ordered a new torch.

Some electronic ignitions on the furnace won't work without a pure sine wave. Better check first.

Ground!Be sure that your unit doesn't have a low voltage circuit that's available. Perhaps you'll have to run additional wire to the thermostat from the unit, but the extra unit may not be necessary, I was happily using it as directed until discovering that voltage was already on my furnace.Pays to check.Dee

This water heater does not have an electronic ignitor. You have to manually light the burner.
