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 a genuine OEM igniter electrode (part number 1179966) for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS240HEAA0AAAA gas furnace. The igniter electrode heats to ignition temperature when the control board energizes it at the start of a heat cycle, lighting the gas at the burners. Igniters are brittle and wear out from thermal cycling; a cracked or open igniter is one of the most common causes of furnace no-heat calls. Symptoms include the furnace going through its sequence but never lighting, a board lockout after several failed ignition attempts, or no visible glow at the igniter. Replacing the igniter with the correct OEM part restores fast, reliable ignition.
