Overview

This OEM hot surface igniter is the direct-fit ignition component for the ICP / Heil / Tempstar / Comfortmaker WPG4244040LKB1 gas furnace. When a 24V call for heat begins, the control board energizes this igniter, which heats to roughly 1,800–2,500°F to light the burner gas. Igniters are the single most common no-heat failure on this furnace family — the brittle silicon-carbide or silicon-nitride element cracks from repeated thermal cycling, contamination, or rough handling. Covered OEM part numbers: 1186861 (control board igniter) and 1177663 (ignitor). Replacing a failed igniter restores reliable ignition without replacing the entire burner assembly.
