ICP Hot Surface Igniter for WFAR080C060B2 — Includes Igniter Bracket | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM hot surface igniter (HSI) kit replaces the original ignition components in your ICP Tempstar/Heil WFAR080C060B2 gas furnace. The kit includes OEM igniter 1176919 and its mounting bracket 1184324. The hot surface igniter is the element that glows red-hot at the start of each heating cycle to ignite the gas at the burners. Because it cycles through extreme thermal stress on every call for heat, the silicon-carbide element is one of the most common furnace wear items. When it fails, the furnace will not light — you will typically hear the inducer and gas valve attempt to fire, but no flame or heat results. A cracked, pitted, or fully open igniter is the usual culprit behind no-heat service calls.

Specifications

Compatibility

Engineered as a direct-fit replacement for the ICP Tempstar Heil WFAR080C060B2 gas furnace. These igniters are shared across many ICP-family (International Comfort Products) furnaces sold under the Tempstar, Heil, Comfortmaker, and Arcoaire brands. Always verify your existing part number against 1176919 before ordering.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Shut off gas and disconnect electrical power at the furnace switch and breaker. Verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the furnace burner-compartment service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter position and wiring connector before disconnecting.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter connector, remove the mounting screw, and lift out the old igniter and bracket. Handle the new igniter by the bracket only — never touch the element with bare fingers, as skin oils cause premature failure.
5. Install — Mount the new igniter and bracket in the same position, ensuring proper alignment over the burner, and reconnect the wiring per your photo.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, then run a full heat cycle to confirm the igniter glows and the burners light cleanly.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace runs the inducer and clicks but never lights or produces heat
• Igniter element is cracked, blistered, or no longer glows
• Continuity test reads open (infinite resistance) across the igniter
• Short cycling or intermittent ignition during cold weather
