ICP Hot Surface Igniter for RGX048KECA0AAA — 1171306 OEM Ignitor | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM hot surface igniter (OEM part #1171306) is the direct-replacement ignition component for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGX048KECA0AAA gas furnace. On a heat call the igniter heats to a high temperature and lights the burner gas to begin the heating cycle. A cracked or worn-out igniter is one of the most common no-heat failures: the inducer runs and the furnace attempts ignition, but the burners never light and the control board eventually locks out. Because igniters are brittle and degrade with every thermal cycle, they are a normal wear item on a furnace of this age.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker, verify zero voltage with a multimeter, and shut off the gas.
2. Access — Remove the furnace burner/service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter bracket and wiring connector before disconnecting.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter connector, remove the mounting screw(s), and carefully withdraw the old igniter, handling only the ceramic base.
5. Install — Mount the new igniter in the same position, reconnect the plug, and confirm the element sits correctly over the burner.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, run a heat cycle, and verify the igniter glows and the burners light.

• Furnace runs the inducer but burners never light (no heat).
• Visible cracks, chips, or breaks in the igniter element.
