Carrier WeatherMaker 8000vs - Electric ignitor burnt into Friday afternoon, replaced with new one Saturday, worked for 1 day and burnt into this morning.

Need cause, LED blinks 34, I have read the troubleshooter guide, but don't understand.

Please help. Thanks Robyn

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
