Overview

This OEM hot surface igniter assembly is the ignition source for your ICP / Tempstar / Heil WFAR040A030B2 gas furnace. When the thermostat calls for heat and the gas valve opens, the control board energizes this 120V igniter; it glows white-hot to light the burner gas. The kit includes both the igniter element (OEM 1176919) and its mounting bracket (OEM 1184324) so it seats in the correct position relative to the burner. Igniters are the most common no-heat failure in modern furnaces — the brittle silicon nitride element cracks from thermal cycling, contamination, or rough handling. A failed igniter typically produces a furnace that clicks and smells gas briefly but never lights.
