My furnace will not ignite. What part is bad?

A furnace that will not ignite after the draft inducer runs typically has a failed igniter. The hot surface igniter should glow bright orange within 60 seconds. If it does not glow at all, it is cracked or burned out. If it glows weakly, it is degrading and should be replaced preventively. Average lifespan: 3 to 7 years.

Overview

The ICP igniter electrode (OEM part #1179966) is the ignition component for your ICP/Heil/Tempstar RGS240SFFA0AAAA gas furnace. This electrode generates the spark that lights the burner assembly on each heating call. Over time the electrode tip erodes, cracks, or accumulates carbon, which leads to no ignition, repeated ignition lockouts, or a furnace that cycles on the inducer but never produces heat. Replacing a worn igniter electrode restores reliable, on-demand burner ignition and eliminates the nuisance lockouts that leave your home cold.
