Overview
This genuine OEM hot surface igniter (part #1177663) is the factory ignition source for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil WPG3244040RKC1 packaged gas/electric unit. On a call for heat, the control board sends line voltage to the igniter, which glows incandescent-hot and lights the burner gas. Because the igniter element is brittle and degrades with every heating cycle, it is one of the most frequently replaced furnace parts. A cracked or burned-out igniter is the number-one cause of a furnace that clicks but never lights, locks out on ignition failure, or produces no heat on a cold morning.

Compatibility
Direct factory replacement for the ICP WPG3244040RKC1 packaged unit and compatible with matching gas-fired furnaces and packaged systems across the Tempstar, Heil, and Comfortmaker lines. Match the mounting bracket and connector plug to your existing igniter before installing — never touch the ceramic element with bare fingers, as skin oils shorten its life.
Installation Guide
- Safety First — Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off the gas supply, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
- Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel.
- Document — Photograph the igniter bracket position and wire routing before disconnecting.
- Remove — Unplug the igniter harness, remove the mounting screw, and lift the brittle igniter out carefully.
- Install — Mount the new igniter by the bracket only, align it to the burner port, and reconnect the harness per your photo.
- Test — Restore power and gas, start a heating cycle, and confirm the igniter glows and lights the burners.
