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 the genuine OEM igniter electrode (ICP part number 1179966) for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS300SREA0AAAA furnace. The igniter heats up on each call for heat to light the gas at the burners. Igniters are brittle and degrade with thermal cycling, making them one of the most frequently replaced furnace components. When the igniter cracks, weakens, or fails open, the furnace will not light — you may hear the inducer and gas valve cycle but get no flame, often followed by a lockout. Handle the new igniter only by its base, never by the fragile element, as skin oils and contact can shorten its life.

Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my ICP igniter?
