ICP Hot Surface Igniter for WPG3604130RKC1 — OEM Furnace Ignitor | Ships Today

Overview

This is the OEM hot surface igniter for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil WPG3604130RKC1 packaged gas/electric unit, part 1177663. The igniter is the component that glows red-hot on a heat call to light the gas at the burners. It is one of the most common furnace wear items — the brittle silicon-carbide or nitride element degrades with every cycle and eventually cracks or fails to reach ignition temperature, leaving you with no heat. Installing the correct OEM igniter restores fast, reliable burner ignition and prevents repeated control-board lockouts caused by failed ignition attempts.

Specifications

Compatibility

Designed for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil WPG3604130RKC1 weatherized packaged gas/electric unit and other models that originally used igniter 1177663. Match the bracket and connector style of your existing igniter before installing.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the unit disconnect and verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter bracket position and wire routing before disconnecting.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter connector and remove the mounting screw; handle the old element by the ceramic base only.
5. Install — Mount the new igniter without touching the glow element, then reconnect the harness per your photo.
6. Test — Restore power, call for heat, and confirm the igniter glows and lights the burners cleanly.
