Hello all.

My gas furnace went out yesterday. It's flashing code 14. I opened
it up today, and saw a crack on the Hot Surface Ignitor (HSI).

I'm thinking of replacing it myself. However, neither the user manual
I have from Carrier or their online version has a diagramed
instruction on how to replace it.

Do you know if there is a place on the net that shows how one goes
about replacing a HSI on the Carrier 58PAV?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,
You unmount it by removing the screw. Do the reverse. If it is not an
OEM direct replcement one, you may have to splice lead wires to keep the
original connector. My furnace is carrier too. I always kkep a spare
one. It's 120V AC driven. Make sure you turn the power off to the furnace.
