3. Installation Guide
This section provides general instructions for replacing an existing ignition module. Always refer to your specific furnace model's service manual for detailed wiring diagrams and procedures.
3.1 Pre-Installation Steps
- Disconnect Power: Turn off the electrical power to the furnace at the main service panel. Verify power is off using a voltage meter.
- Access Module: Locate the existing ignition module within the furnace control compartment.
- Document Wiring: Before disconnecting any wires, take clear photos or draw a diagram of all wire connections to the old module. Note the color and terminal location of each wire.
3.2 Module Replacement
- Remove Old Module: Carefully disconnect all wires from the old ignition module. Unmount the old module from its position.
- Mount New Module: Position the new 1007-100 2310 Ignition Module in the same location as the old one. Secure it using the appropriate screws or mounting hardware.
- Connect Wiring: Refer to your documented wiring diagram and connect each wire to the corresponding terminal on the new module. Ensure all connections are secure and tight.

3.3 Post-Installation Checks
- Verify Connections: Double-check all wire connections for correctness and security.
- Restore Power: Turn on the electrical power to the furnace.
- Test Operation: Initiate a call for heat from the thermostat and observe the furnace's ignition sequence. Ensure the burner ignites smoothly and operates correctly.
- Check for Leaks: If gas lines were disturbed, check for gas leaks using a soap solution.
4. Operation
The 1007-100 2310 Ignition Module manages the furnace's ignition process. When a call for heat is received from the thermostat, the module initiates a sequence:
- It activates the draft inducer motor to clear the combustion chamber.
- It then energizes the igniter (either hot surface igniter or spark igniter) to create a flame source.
- Simultaneously, it opens the gas valve to allow gas flow to the burners.
- Once ignition occurs, the module uses a flame sensor to confirm the presence of a flame.
- If a flame is detected, the module continues to monitor it throughout the heating cycle. If no flame is detected within a specified time, the module will attempt re-ignition or enter a lockout state for safety.
5. Maintenance
The ignition module itself requires minimal maintenance. However, regular maintenance of the overall furnace system is crucial for its longevity and proper function.
- Annual Furnace Inspection: Have a qualified HVAC technician inspect your furnace annually. They will check all components, including the ignition system, for wear or malfunction.
- Keep Area Clear: Ensure the area around the furnace is free from dust, debris, and flammable materials.
- Check Wiring: During annual inspections, ensure all wiring connections to the module are secure and free from corrosion or damage.
6. Troubleshooting
If your furnace is experiencing issues related to ignition, consider the following troubleshooting steps. Always ensure power is disconnected before inspecting internal components.
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Action |
|---|---|---|
| No ignition, no spark/glow | No power to module, faulty igniter, faulty module, wiring issue | Check power supply. Inspect igniter for damage. Verify wiring connections. Test module for proper voltage (professional recommended). |
| Igniter glows/sparks, but no flame | No gas supply, faulty gas valve, clogged burner, faulty module | Check gas supply to furnace. Inspect gas valve operation. Clean burners. |
| Burner ignites, then immediately shuts off | Dirty or faulty flame sensor, poor ground connection, faulty module | Clean flame sensor rod. Check furnace grounding. |
| Intermittent ignition | Loose wiring, weak igniter, draft issues, faulty module | Inspect all wiring. Check igniter resistance. Ensure proper furnace venting. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact a qualified HVAC technician for diagnosis and repair.
