Goodman 11111701 Hot Surface Igniter Silicon Nitride

Product Description

The GOODMAN 11111701 is a silicon nitride hot surface igniter designed for gas furnace ignition systems. It replaces a failed or degraded igniter element to restore reliable furnace startup. Silicon nitride construction delivers faster heat-up times and greater resistance to thermal shock compared to older silicon carbide designs. At 5.2 inches wide and 12.5 inches long, this igniter fits into standard igniter mounting positions in residential gas furnaces. Licensed HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this component during heating season service calls or no-heat diagnostics.

This hot surface igniter is suited for residential gas furnace applications where a direct-replacement silicon nitride igniter is required. It is sourced through White Rodgers, a recognized supplier of furnace ignition components, and is distributed under the GOODMAN part number 11111701. Typical installation scenarios include no-heat service calls where the igniter has cracked, failed open, or tested out of resistance spec. It is appropriate for gas-fired forced-air furnace systems that use a hot surface ignition control sequence.

Key Features

• Silicon nitride element for improved thermal shock resistance versus silicon carbide igniters
• Hot surface ignition design compatible with standard furnace ignition control boards
• Compact form factor: 5.2 inches wide by 12.5 inches long
• Single-pack quantity for direct one-for-one replacement
• Sourced through White Rodgers ignition product line

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement igniter for residential gas furnaces utilizing hot surface ignition with silicon nitride igniter elements. Confirm igniter element dimensions and connector type before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation of a hot surface igniter should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Shut off power to the furnace at the disconnect switch and close the gas supply valve before beginning service. Silicon nitride igniters are fragile — avoid contact with the ceramic element during handling, as skin oils and physical stress can cause premature failure. Verify igniter resistance with a multimeter before and after installation to confirm proper operation.
