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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Numbers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1177663 (Ignitor), 1186861 (Igniter Control Board)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHot Surface Igniter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eICP \/ Tempstar \/ Heil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120 VAC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGas Furnace Ignition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered as the OEM replacement for ICP\/Tempstar\/Heil model WPG4244040LKA1.
