    Goodman gas furnace will not ignite
    I have a goodman gas unit. The igniter will glow red I can here the gas valve click and then I can hear the gas come on but it will not light. If put my finger in front of the burners I can feel the gas and I can also smell it. Can anyone help me thinks.

    Good luck, there has been a few of these post latly. Have not got to the bottom of it yet. Sounds like a gas pressure probem to me.

    Are you certain of gas delivery to all burners, especially the one closest to the ignitor? If so, check main burner assembly for build-up or obstruction of some type.

    On ours it turned out to be the gas pressure being too low.

    There seems to be a rash of that lately... that's good news.

    Nov 20, 2008 we replaced the cracked ignitor... Goodman furnace part pictures matched on internet. I took the small part off myself and my husband sanded the part and soldered it and it worked until later it cracked again and we replaced it. Easy shmeasy job. An old granny like me can do it. Otherwise you're looking at a few hundred bucks vs $20-30 at the most... if you're fortunate, you may only need to sand the carbon off it!

    I have the GMT070-3b Goodman furnace. I can here the gas turn on and I can light it by hand but will not light. It makes since to me that it is probably the Igniter if not that then probably the circuit board. Does anyone have the part number for the Igniter? There are 2 things hanging down pne on the right side and one on the left. Which is the igniter?

    Pic 1 is the ignitor kit, part # 0230K00001. Does it glow, as in pic 2? If so, it isn't the problem.
