Greetings - I am very grateful to locate your forum Purchased my Trane XV80 in 10/2003 & system has performed quite well - until last winter. Long story short, zero heat/cold winter day - called contractor - diagnosed hot surface igniter - quoted $., had presence of mind to research part via internet ($) & source compatible part for WR 768A-15 through local supplier the next day. 1st (compatible-cobbled-together) igniter failed within 2 weeks, given a direct replacement & this got me through last winter. I ordered two spares (WR 768A-15) from Pex two weeks ago, which was a good thing because the igniter failed again yesterday. Replaced with igniter from Pex, (this is taking me about 5 minutes now) & bam, the world is good again & my significant other returns to the usual complaints of everything I am not doing particularly well with - BESIDES THE IGNITER...
Can someone PLEASE help me understand the next step(s) for troubleshooting what may be causing these igniters to fail?
Thank you for your time and consideration.

A good technician would know what to look for in a situation like this. See if you can find a Trane or American Standard dealer with a senior tech would would look over the installation and see if they can come up with the solution. The solution isn't just to keep throwing ignitors at it.
Sorry this is NOT a DIY site.
