    Intertherm/Nordyne furnace - not igniting
    I have a 20-yr old furnace (old model# G6 RC080C). No blue flame through the burner view port, so assume that the ignitor is bad. There are no issues with gas supply. Is it simply a matter of getting an ignitor kit and replacing the old one? Or is there a possible issue with the control board?

    Test to see if voltage is getting to the ignitor when there is a call for heat.

    Thanks hvac1000. I will need a special device to check electrical flow, right? I assume there are two leads of some kind which need to be connected at different points to see if the voltage is getting to the ignitor?
