ICP Hot Surface Igniter with Bracket for WFAR060B048B1 — Furnace Ignitor Kit | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM hot surface igniter (part number 1176919) and matching mounting bracket (part number 1184324) replace the ignition assembly on the ICP/Tempstar/Heil WFAR060B048B1 gas furnace. On each call for heat, the control board sends line voltage to the igniter, which glows white-hot to light the burners. Hot surface igniters are the most common furnace failure point — the brittle element cracks from thermal cycling and age. Symptoms include the furnace running its ignition sequence but never lighting, or short-cycling on ignition lockout. This kit includes the correct bracket so the new igniter sits at the precise factory position relative to the burner.

Specifications

Compatibility

Designed for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil WFAR060B048B1 gas furnace and related ICP-family models using this hot surface igniter and bracket. Handle the element by its ceramic base only — skin oils shorten its life.

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 wiring connector and bracket position before disconnecting.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter lead, remove the bracket screw, and withdraw the old igniter and bracket without touching the element.
5. Install — Mount the new bracket and igniter, set the element at the factory gap to the burner, and reconnect the lead.
6. Test — Restore power, start a heat cycle, and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light cleanly.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace runs the ignition sequence but burners never light
• Igniter shows no glow during the heat call
• Visibly cracked, chipped, or blistered element
• Repeated ignition-lockout fault codes from the control board
