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

OEM igniter electrode (OEM part #1179966) for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS244HFFA0AAAA gas furnace. The igniter is the heating element that glows on a call for heat and lights the burners during the ignition sequence. Igniters are a common wear item — the element is brittle and degrades with every heating cycle until it cracks or no longer reaches ignition temperature. When that happens the furnace runs the inducer and opens the gas valve but fails to light, then locks out on ignition. This OEM-spec igniter electrode restores reliable startup.

Document — Photograph the igniter mounting position and wiring connector before removal.
Remove — Unplug the igniter harness and unscrew the bracket; handle the new element by the ceramic base only — never touch the glow element.
