Overview

This is a genuine OEM hot surface igniter kit for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil WFAR040A030A1 furnace, including the igniter element (part number 1176919) and its mounting bracket (part number 1184324). On each call for heat, the control board sends 120V to the igniter, which glows white-hot to light the gas at the burners. Hot surface igniters are brittle silicon-carbide elements that degrade with every ignition cycle and eventually crack or burn out. When the igniter fails, the draft inducer and gas valve sequence normally but the burners never light — leaving you with a furnace that cycles on the limit and blows cold air. Replacing the igniter, and the bracket that holds it at the correct position over the burner, restores reliable ignition.

Compatibility

Direct factory replacement for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil WFAR040A030A1 furnace and the Comfortmaker, Arcoaire, and KeepRite versions of this platform. The included bracket ensures the igniter seats at the correct distance over the burner manifold.

Installation Guide

  1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
  2. Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel.
  3. Document — Photograph the igniter position, bracket, and wire routing before disconnecting.
  4. Remove — Unplug the igniter harness and unscrew the old igniter and bracket. Handle the new element only by its ceramic base, never the silicon-carbide tip.
  5. Install — Mount the bracket and igniter so the element sits in the burner flame path, then reconnect the harness per your photo.
  6. Test — Restore power and watch a full ignition cycle to confirm the igniter glows and the burners light.

Signs You Need a Replacement

  • Furnace runs the inducer but burners never light
  • Igniter shows cracks or no longer glows

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.
