It is the genuine part for those models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hot surface ignitor takes the place of a standing pilot. When the heater calls for heat, current runs through the element until it glows, and the gas lights off that glowing surface. Nothing burns between cycles, which is why these heaters do not need relighting after a windy night.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to replace it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe classic symptom is a heater that starts its sequence, runs the blower, and then locks out without ever lighting. Ignitor elements crack and burn out with age and thermal cycling, and once the element is open the heater has no way to light. The flame sense rod is a separate part on these heaters, so a unit that does light and then immediately shuts down is usually pointing at the sensor rather than the ignitor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm your heater is the Low NOx model, since the standard LX\/LT ignitor is a different part number. Handle the new ignitor by its base. The element is brittle and easy to crack before it ever gets power.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waterpik Technologies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633786007764,"sku":"LAR-151-3869","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_53a6832d-9cc7-406c-adad-7a4ca5fc56d8.jpg?v=1788816450","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/ignitor-laars-lx-lt-low-nox","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
