ICP Hot Surface Igniter for WUGF130AH01 — OEM 606996 | Ships Today

Overview

This genuine OEM hot surface igniter (part number 606996) is the direct-fit ignition component for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil WUGF130AH01 gas furnace. On a call for heat, the control board energizes the igniter, which glows red-hot to ignite the burner gas. Igniters are a wear item — repeated heating and cooling cycles eventually crack the element or cause it to lose conductivity. When the igniter fails, the furnace draft inducer and gas valve sequence may run normally but the burners never light, and the furnace typically locks out after several failed ignition attempts. A no-heat condition combined with a furnace that 'tries' to start is the most common symptom of a failed igniter.

Specifications

Compatibility

Factory replacement igniter for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil WUGF130AH01 furnace. This igniter is shared across many ICP-family furnaces — confirm the mounting bracket and connector match your original before installing.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker and verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter mounting position and wiring connector before removing.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter harness and remove the mounting screw(s); handle the old igniter by the ceramic base only.
5. Install — Mount the new igniter without touching the silicon-carbide element, then reconnect the harness.
6. Test — Restore power, initiate a heat call, and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light within the ignition window.
