Protech 62-24164-01 Direct Spark Ignition Ignitor

Works perfectly Great price

We have a Ruud Silhouette II Gas Furnace. One winter it simply wouldn't start, so we called a Furnace Repair Company to come out and fix it. The repairman and his assistant blew dust off the furnace and charged us $150.00. I was shocked to find out that dust can keep a furnace from starting and even more shocked that a repairman charges $150.00 to blow off the dust. After this, I decided to find out some furnace basics that I could do the maintenance on myself and save my hard earned money.The first thing I found out is to always gently keep your furnace filters clean- there are more washable filters underneath and on the inside that I never knew about. I only knew about the main slide out one that we change every other month. Keep the dust out and use only a gentle rag- never use any electrical blower, as it will damage your furnace. When your furnace keeps trying to ignite repeatedly, but won't or eventually will, it's usually a dirty ignitor AND sensor. You can keep these clean for a while until you replace them. They are both little metal rods- the ignitor has 2 rods close together and the sensor is one rod.They make non abrasive sponge type pads for cleaning that are perfect for cleaning these rods. You want to cut this non abrasive sponge into strips that make it easy to wrap around the rods for cleaning. You just gently rub the sponge strip over the rods back and forth with these non abrasive, non metallic pads to get some of the baked-on soot off. Never use anything metallic or abrasive for cleaning- you will damage the furnace with metallic dust! This gentle cleaning will work for a while to get your furnace ignited, but eventually you should replace the ignitor AND the sensor, as they both get gunked up at the same time. It's a good idea to always keep a back up ignitor and sensor at home so you'll never freeze should they be worn out. Installing them is tricky as they are in tight spaces, but you can do it- just take a photo of things before you take it apart, and don't forget whether you are cleaning or repairing your furnace- turn off the electrical and gas to it first. This is a huge 5 STAR part that will save you huge money!

My car was stolen and it angered me. Many thoughts went through my head, most of them expletives. With all this negativity I had to channel my energy into something productive. I decided to build an anti-car thief flamethrower.When the car is started a 12V -> 120V cigarette adapter turns on a hand mixer which opens a valve on a plumber's welding torch. I connected this Rheem spark igniter to a whirlpool spark module to ignite the gas from the welding torch. Hanging above the welding torch nozzle was a ziploc bag of gasoline. The torch melts the bag instantly and the gas is ignited as it pours onto the would-be car thief.Unfortunately it's illegal to install this device in my car because of Katko vs. Briney. Otherwise this spark igniter would be put to good use lighting car thieves on fire. But that's a fault in the laws of this country, not the spark igniter.Five stars.

Yeah, but no better than the one I replaced. Did not fix anything. What I learned is that the flame sensor is not a part of the ignitor. Look to the left side of the burner. Do you see another orange wire hiding behind the burner supports? All I did was touch the flame sensor and the furnace started working again...lol Please let me know if this helps you. In case you were wondering this was not my first rodeo either. I would venture to say that the only way that an ignitor needs to be replaced is if it was run over by a truck, even then it might survive as usable.

I order this cause my heater was not heating up. Come to to see that this piece was broken. I replaced it with a new one. Now my hwater is working great. Plus I got it fast and easy to put
