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 OEM igniter electrode (part #1179966) is the component that ignites the gas burners in the ICP/Heil/Tempstar RGS244HTFA0AAAA furnace. At the start of each heat cycle the control board energizes the igniter, which heats to a glowing temperature and lights the gas as the valve opens. The igniter element is brittle and degrades with every ignition cycle, eventually cracking or losing its ability to reach ignition temperature. A failed igniter is one of the most common no-heat complaints — the inducer runs and the gas valve tries to open, but the burners never light and the furnace locks out.

Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel.
Document — Photograph the igniter position and wiring before removal.
Remove — Unplug the connector, remove the mounting screw(s), and carefully withdraw the old igniter. Never touch the new element with bare fingers — skin oils shorten its life.
