Amana Ignitor

QUESTION:

I have an Amana gas furnace that uses a Robertshaw 41-401 ignitor or equivalent. When the furnace was new the ignitors lasted for several years. For a good while now, though, I have been burning them up at a high rate, as many as two per year. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to improve the reliability of my ignitor system?

ANSWER:

Amana was saying they was going to the round hard as steal type , but has not went to that type yet. They are still using the flate and breaks when the wind blows on it type still now. There is a new ignitor out that will stand up to being driven into a 2"X 4" but i'm still waiting for them to get to my supplier.
So the answer now is no but maybe in the future be yes.
