Overview
This genuine OEM hot surface ignition assembly fits the ICP / Tempstar / Heil WPG4304060RKA1 gas furnace and covers the igniter (part number 1177663) and the igniter control board (part number 1186861). A hot surface igniter is a small ceramic element that glows red-hot when energized, lighting the gas at the burners during each heat call. The control board manages the ignition sequence — timing the igniter warm-up, opening the gas valve, and confirming flame. Igniters are fragile and degrade over thousands of heating cycles; the brittle element eventually cracks or burns out, and the furnace can no longer light. This is the single most common reason a gas furnace fails to produce heat. Replacing a worn igniter restores reliable, fast ignition on every cycle.

Compatibility
Designed as a direct-fit replacement for the ICP WPG4304060RKA1 and the Tempstar, Heil, and Comfortmaker furnaces sharing this ignition system. Verify your existing igniter and board part numbers before ordering.
Installation Guide
- Safety First — Shut off gas and disconnect power, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
- Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel.
- Document — Photograph the igniter position and all wiring before disconnecting.
- Remove — Unplug the igniter lead and remove its mounting screw; handle the ceramic element only by its base — never touch the glow surface.
- Install — Mount the new igniter and reconnect, replacing the control board if included, per your photo.
- Test — Restore gas and power, then watch a full ignition cycle to confirm the igniter glows and the burners light.
Signs You Need a Replacement
- Furnace clicks but won't light.
- Igniter no longer glows during a heat call.
- Visible cracks or breaks in the ceramic element.
