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 ICP ignitor electrode (OEM part 1179966) lights the burners on your ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS300LEEA0AAAA gas furnace. On a heat call the control board energizes the igniter, which heats to incandescence so the gas valve can open and the burners light. Igniters are consumable — repeated heating and cooling cycles make the element brittle until it cracks, develops hot spots, or stops glowing. A failed igniter is one of the most common no-heat causes, typically showing up as a furnace that tries to start, fails to light, and locks out. Replacing it with a genuine OEM electrode restores fast, dependable ignition.
