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 a genuine OEM igniter electrode (part number 1179966) for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS303SREA0AAAA gas furnace. The hot surface igniter heats to a glowing temperature when energized and ignites the gas as it flows across the burners on each call for heat. Because it cycles through extreme heating and cooling thousands of times per season, the igniter is one of the most common wear items in a modern furnace. A cracked, eroded, or open igniter is the leading cause of no-heat calls: the furnace will run its inducer and open the gas valve but fail to light, then lock out after several failed trials. Installing the correct OEM igniter restores fast, reliable ignition and proper sequencing.

Is this igniter compatible with Bryant or Payne too?

The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.

Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my ICP igniter?

OEM recommended for reliability and warranty compatibility. OEM parts match exact factory specifications for proper fit, performance, and safety. While aftermarket alternatives cost less upfront, the risk of improper fit and reduced lifespan usually makes OEM the better value long-term.
