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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Numbers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1177663 (igniter), 1186861 (control board igniter)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHot Surface Igniter w\/ Ignition Control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eICP (Heil \/ Tempstar \/ Comfortmaker)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIgniter Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFunction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBurner ignition and flame supervision\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOEM replacement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirect OEM replacement for the ICP\/Tempstar\/Heil WPG4244040RKA1 packaged gas\/electric unit and other WPG-series cabinets using a 120V hot surface igniter with matching control.
