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 OEM ignitor electrode (part #1179966) is the hot surface igniter for the ICP Tempstar Heil RGS240LDFA0AAAA gas furnace. On each heat call, the control board energizes this igniter and it glows red-hot to ignite the burner gas. Hot surface igniters are brittle and wear out over time — when one cracks or burns out, the furnace fails to ignite and locks out, leaving you with no heat. This genuine OEM igniter restores fast, reliable ignition.
