Overview

The ICP hot surface igniter (OEM #606996) is the direct-replacement ignition source for the WUGB080AF01 gas furnace. When the thermostat calls for heat, the control board energizes this igniter, which glows to roughly 1,800–2,500°F and lights the gas at the burners. A cracked, carbon-fouled, or electrically open igniter is among the most frequent causes of a furnace that will not produce heat. Common symptoms include the furnace cycling without lighting, an igniter that glows but never lights the burners, repeated lockouts, or no glow at all. Rated for 120V and built to OEM specification, this silicon-nitride-style igniter delivers dependable, long-life ignition.

Compatibility

This igniter is a direct OEM fit for the ICP/Heil/Tempstar WUGB080AF01 gas furnace and shares the same part number across many comparable ICP-family gas furnaces (Comfortmaker, Arcoaire, KeepRite). Confirm OEM part number 606996 against your existing igniter before ordering.

Installation Guide

  1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker, shut off the gas, and verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
  2. Access — Remove the furnace burner-compartment service panel.
  3. Document — Photograph the igniter mounting bracket and wire harness routing before disconnecting.
  4. Remove — Unplug the igniter connector, remove the mounting screw(s), and carefully withdraw the old igniter without touching the brittle element.
  5. 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.
  6. Test — Restore gas and power, run a heat cycle, and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light promptly.

Signs You Need a Replacement

How do I replace the igniter on my ICP WUGB080AF01 — Silicon Nitride OEM 606996 | Ships Today?
Difficulty: Medium (20–30 min)
Step 1: Turn off power and gas. Step 2: Open furnace panel. Step 3: Locate igniter near burners. Step 4: Disconnect two-wire plug. Step 5: Remove mounting screw. Step 6: Install new igniter — do NOT touch element with fingers. Step 7: Reconnect, close panel, restore power/gas.
My furnace won’t ignite. What part is bad?
Furnace won’t ignite after the draft inducer runs = failed igniter. The hot surface igniter should glow bright orange within 60 seconds. No glow = cracked/burned out. Weak glow = degrading. Average lifespan: 3–7 years. Replacement: $15–$40 DIY.
Is this igniter compatible with Bryant or Payne too?
Many ICP parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.
Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my ICP igniter?
OEM recommended for reliability and warranty compatibility. OEM parts match exact factory specifications for proper fit, performance, and safety. While aftermarket alternatives cost less upfront, the risk of improper fit and reduced lifespan usually makes OEM the better value long-term.
