My furnace will not ignite. What part is bad?

A furnace that will not ignite after the draft inducer runs typically has a failed igniter. The hot surface igniter should glow bright orange within 60 seconds. If it does not glow at all, it is cracked or burned out. If it glows weakly, it is degrading and should be replaced preventively. Average lifespan: 3 to 7 years.

Overview

This OEM hot surface ignition assembly for ICP, Heil, Tempstar, and Comfortmaker WPG-series packaged gas units includes the igniter (part #1177663) and its integrated ignition control board (part #1186861). On a heat call, the control board sequences the inducer and pressure switch, then sends 120V to the igniter, whose silicon-based element glows red-hot to ignite the gas at the burners. The board monitors flame and shuts off gas if ignition fails, providing the unit's primary safety lockout. Hot surface igniters are brittle and degrade with every heating cycle — a cracked or worn element is one of the most common no-heat failures. Replacing the igniter and verifying the control board together restores reliable, safe ignition.
