The Heil Quaker ICP 1171779 Heating Element is a 5kW OEM replacement part designed for use in compatible ICP air handlers and electric furnaces. This open coil heater provides the necessary resistive load to generate a 5kW heat output, typically operating at 240V to ensure consistent thermal performance in residential split systems. As a critical component of the electric heat kit, this assembly restores full heating capacity to units showing signs of element fatigue, such as open circuits or localized hotspots that lead to premature thermal limit tripping. The ICP 1171779 is engineered for a precise physical fit within the heater box, maintaining the required clearance for optimal airflow and safety.

Key Benefits:

• Genuine ICP OEM replacement heating element ensuring exact electrical specifications and dimensional compatibility.
• High-grade nickel-chromium alloy coils designed to withstand repeated thermal cycling without sagging.
• Restores original 5kW heating system efficiency for brands including Heil, Tempstar, and Comfortmaker.
• Direct replacement for ICP part number 1170668, simplifying inventory for service technicians.

Common Questions:

• How do I confirm if my heating element is bad? Use a multimeter to check for electrical continuity across the terminals; an infinite resistance reading indicates a broken heating element coil.
• Will this fit other ICP brands? Yes, this 5kW element is a standard component across the International Comfort Products family, including Arcoaire and KeepRite models.
• Does this include the limit switch? This specific part number is the 5kW heater element assembly; technicians should inspect existing limit controls and sequencers during installation.
