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

This is the genuine OEM igniter electrode (part number 1179966) for the ICP / Heil / Tempstar RGS213LFAA0AAAA gas furnace. The igniter is the component responsible for lighting the burners on every heat call. When 24V is applied during the ignition sequence, the element heats and ignites the gas at the main burner. A cracked, eroded, or open igniter is one of the most common causes of a furnace that clicks, sparks, or attempts to start but never produces heat. This electrode is a brittle ceramic-element part — handle it only by the ceramic base and never touch the element with bare fingers, as skin oils shorten its life.

Is this igniter compatible with Bryant or Payne too?

Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my ICP igniter?

OEM recommended for reliability and warranty compatibility. OEM parts match exact factory specifications for proper fit, performance, and safety. While aftermarket alternatives cost less upfront, the risk of improper fit and reduced lifespan usually makes OEM the better value long-term.
