Overview
This is the genuine OEM hot surface igniter assembly for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil model WPG4244040LKA1, covering both the ignitor element (Part No. 1177663) and its igniter control board (Part No. 1186861). On a call for heat, the control board sequences the ignition: it powers the hot surface igniter, which glows to roughly 2,000°F to light the burners, then confirms flame before allowing the gas valve to stay open. A failed igniter is the leading cause of no-heat furnace calls. Typical symptoms include a furnace that clicks and runs the inducer but never ignites, an igniter that no longer glows, visible cracks in the silicon-carbide or silicon-nitride element, or a unit that locks out after several failed ignition attempts.

Compatibility
Engineered as the OEM replacement for ICP/Tempstar/Heil model WPG4244040LKA1. These ignition components are shared across many gas furnaces and gas package units in the same brand family. Confirm your existing part numbers before ordering, and handle the igniter element only by its ceramic base.
Installation Guide
- Safety First — Shut off gas and disconnect electrical power, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
- Access — Remove the furnace burner/blower access panel.
- Document — Photograph the igniter position and all wire connections before disconnecting.
- Remove — Unplug the igniter harness and unscrew the element from the burner assembly; never touch the glow element with bare fingers.
- Install — Mount the new igniter in the same orientation, reconnect the harness and control board leads per your photo.
- Test — Restore gas and power, then verify a full ignition sequence with a clean glow, burner light-off, and steady flame.
