    Did you touch the new ignitor on the black part with your fingers?
    If you did that can be a problem.

    Ignitors are very sensitive and you cannot bang them around at all or they will fail.

    It is unusual for a new ignitor to break again but it is possible.

    Just for clarification is the sensor really broken again or is the furnace just not working again?
    This is a pic of a bad one
