Overview
This is a genuine OEM hot surface igniter (part number 1171306) for the ICP/Heil/Tempstar RGX036KEXA0AAA gas furnace. The hot surface igniter is the component that glows orange-hot on a call for heat and lights the burners. The control board sends line voltage to the element, it heats to roughly 2000°F, and the gas valve opens to ignite the burners. Hot surface igniters are brittle and degrade with every heating cycle — the element thins, cracks, or breaks outright, which is the single most common reason a furnace ignites intermittently or fails to light at all. Replacing a worn or cracked igniter restores reliable first-try ignition and prevents nuisance lockouts on cold mornings.

Compatibility
Designed for the ICP/Heil/Tempstar RGX036KEXA0AAA gas furnace. OEM igniter 1171306 is used across many ICP-family RGX and N-series furnaces — match the part number and the mounting bracket orientation against your existing igniter before installing.
Installation Guide
- Safety First — Shut off gas and disconnect power, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
- Access — Remove the burner-compartment service panel.
- Document — Photograph the igniter position, bracket, and wire routing before removing anything.
- Remove — Unplug the igniter harness, remove the mounting screw, and withdraw the old igniter. Never touch the new element with bare fingers — skin oils cause hot spots and early failure.
- Install — Mount the new igniter in the same position so the element sits correctly over the burner, then reconnect the harness.
- Test — Restore gas and power, start a heat cycle, and confirm the element glows and burners light on the first try.
Signs You Need a Replacement
- Furnace clicks and tries to start but never lights
- Visible crack, break, or white spots on the igniter element
- Element no longer glows on a call for heat
