Overview

The ICP hot surface igniter (OEM #606996) is the direct-replacement ignition source for the WUGB055AD01 gas furnace. On each heat call, the control board energizes this igniter, which heats to roughly 1,800–2,500°F and ignites the gas at the burners. A cracked, carbon-fouled, or open igniter is one of the most common reasons a furnace fails to produce heat. Typical symptoms include the furnace cycling without lighting, an igniter that glows but never sparks the burners, repeated lockouts, or no glow at all. Rated for 120V and manufactured to OEM specification, this silicon-nitride-style igniter provides reliable, long-life ignition.

Installation Guide

Access — Remove the furnace burner-compartment service panel.
Document — Photograph the igniter mounting bracket and wire harness routing before disconnecting.
Remove — Unplug the igniter connector, remove the mounting screw(s), and carefully withdraw the old igniter without touching the brittle element.
Install — Mount the new igniter in the same position (handle the ceramic base only, never the element), secure the screw, and reconnect the harness per your photo.
Test — Restore gas and power, run a heat cycle, and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light promptly.
