Overview
This genuine OEM hot surface igniter (part 1177663) — paired with its igniter control board (part 1186861) — provides ignition for the ICP/Heil/Tempstar WPG4304060LKA1 packaged gas furnace. On a heat call, the control board energizes the igniter, which glows to a high temperature and lights the burner gas. Hot surface igniters are brittle and wear out from repeated thermal cycling; the element develops hairline cracks or simply fails to reach ignition temperature. When the igniter fails, the furnace runs the inducer and opens the gas valve but never lights, then locks out. Replacing a worn igniter (and its control when faulted) restores reliable, clean ignition.

Installation Guide

- Remove — Unplug the igniter connector, remove the mounting screw, and lift the old element out without touching the tip.
- Install — Mount the new 1177663 igniter (and 1186861 control if replacing), reconnect per your photo, holding the element by its ceramic base only.
- Test — Restore power and gas, call for heat, and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light.
Signs You Need a Replacement
