Overview
This OEM hot surface igniter (OEM part #1171306) is the direct-replacement ignition component for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGX048KEXA0AAA gas furnace. The igniter heats to a high temperature when the furnace calls for heat, lighting the burner gas to start the heating cycle. A failed or cracked igniter is one of the most common causes of no-heat calls: the furnace will run the inducer and try to ignite, but the burners never light, and the board typically locks out after several failed attempts. Igniters are brittle and wear out from repeated thermal cycling, so they are a normal maintenance item on any furnace this age.

Installation Guide
- Safety First — Disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker, verify zero voltage with a multimeter, and shut off the gas.
- Access — Remove the furnace burner/service panel.
- Document — Photograph the igniter bracket and wiring connector before disconnecting.
- Remove — Unplug the igniter connector, remove the mounting screw(s), and carefully withdraw the old igniter. Handle only by the ceramic base — never touch the silicon nitride element.
- Install — Mount the new igniter in the same position, reconnect the plug, and confirm the element sits correctly over the burner.
- Test — Restore gas and power, then run a heat cycle and verify the igniter glows and the burners light.
Signs You Need a Replacement
- Furnace ignites the inducer but burners never light (no heat).
- Visible cracks, chips, or breaks in the igniter element.
- Igniter glows weakly or not at all on a heat call.
- Furnace locks out after 3-4 failed ignition attempts.
