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 ignitor electrode assembly (part 1179966) is the ignition source for the ICP RGS243HREA0AAAA. On a call for heat, the control board energizes the igniter, which glows hot to light the gas at the burners. Igniters are fragile and degrade over thousands of heating cycles — the silicon-carbide or electrode element develops hairline cracks and eventually fails open, leaving the furnace unable to light. The most common symptom is a system that cycles through its sequence and locks out on ignition failure: the inducer runs, the gas valve opens, but no flame appears. Replacing the igniter with the correct OEM part restores fast, dependable ignition every cycle.
