My furnace will not ignite. What part is bad?

A furnace that will not ignite after the draft inducer runs typically has a failed igniter. The hot surface igniter should glow bright orange within 60 seconds. If it does not glow at all, it is cracked or burned out. If it glows weakly, it is degrading and should be replaced preventively. Average lifespan: 3 to 7 years.

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.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel.
Document — Photograph the igniter position, bracket, and wire routing before disconnecting.
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.
Install — Mount the bracket and igniter so the element sits in the burner flame path, then reconnect the harness per your photo.
Test — Restore power and watch a full ignition cycle to confirm the igniter glows and the burners light.
