Laars Heating Systems R0367100 Ignitor
The Laars Heating Systems R0367100 Ignitor is a critical hot surface ignition component engineered specifically for Laars Lite2 LJ pool heaters. Designed to handle the high-cycle demands of aquatic heating environments, this glow bar ignitor provides the necessary thermal energy to safely initiate combustion in LJ250N and related Lite2 models ranging from 125 to 400 BTU. This hot surface ignitor is manufactured from high-durability silicon carbide, ensuring stable resistance through repeated heat cycles. As a specialized Zodiac Jandy replacement part, it integrates seamlessly with the existing pool heater ignition control system to prevent misfires and short-cycling. Technicians should note that this assembly also functions as a flame sensor once ignition is confirmed, signaling the control board to maintain the gas valve open. This genuine Laars replacement ignitor ensures proper alignment with the burner port to maximize service life and heater efficiency in residential and commercial applications.
Key Benefits- Precise Compatibility: Direct-fit replacement for Teledyne Laars Lite2 LJ series (Models 125, 175, 250, 325, and 400).
- Dual-Function Performance: Acts as both a hot surface ignitor for starting the unit and a flame sensor for continuous operation monitoring.
- Vibration and Thermal Shock Resistance: Constructed with materials designed to withstand the harsh environment of a gas-fired pool heater combustion chamber.
- OEM Standards: Restores factory-spec ignition timing and reliability to prevent unburned gas buildup or delayed ignition faults.
What causes a Laars R0367100 ignitor to fail prematurely?
Common failure points include cracked ceramic bases due to over-tightening during installation or surface contamination from skin oils. Always handle the carbide element with clean gloves to prevent localized hot spots.
How do I test if my Lite2 LJ ignitor is defective?
Check for continuity and resistance across the leads with a multimeter. A reading of "OL" or infinity indicates a break in the element. Also, verify that the ignition control board is delivering the required voltage (typically 120VAC) during the start sequence.
Does this ignitor work with both Natural Gas and Propane units?
Yes, the R0367100 is compatible with Jandy Laars Lite2 LJ heaters configured for either fuel type, provided the burner alignment matches the factory specifications.
