If a hot surface ignition module is inoperable, what other part should you also consider changing?

When a hot surface ignition module is found to be inoperable, it is essential to consider changing the hot surface igniter as well. The hot surface ignition module is responsible for powering and controlling the igniter. If the module fails, it may not be able to provide the necessary power for the igniter to operate, and, conversely, if the igniter itself is faulty or has issues, it can cause the module to fail. Therefore, when diagnosing a problem with the ignition sequence, it is prudent to replace both the module and the igniter to ensure proper functionality and avoid recurring issues.

In addition, this replacement strategy helps in maintaining the reliability of the ignition system, especially since both parts work closely together during the ignition process. This proactive approach also ensures that any related problems are addressed, promoting overall safety and efficiency in the equipment’s operation.
