Heil Hot Surface Igniter for RGS214HDAA0AAAA — Direct-Replacement Electrode | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM hot surface igniter electrode (P/N 1179966) is the component that lights the burners in your ICP RGS214HDAA0AAAA gas furnace. On each heat call the control board sends voltage to the igniter, which glows red-hot and ignites the gas as the valve opens. Igniters are a wear item — the silicon carbide or nitride element becomes brittle over years of thermal cycling and eventually cracks. The most common failure symptom is a furnace that runs the inducer and blower but never produces heat, often locking out after several failed ignition attempts.

Specifications

Compatibility

Designed for the ICP RGS214HDAA0AAAA and the broader ICP family of gas furnaces sold under Tempstar, Heil, and Comfortmaker labels. Verify the mounting bracket and connector style against your existing igniter before installing.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Shut off the furnace at the switch and breaker, close the gas, and verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter position and its wire routing before disconnecting.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter connector and remove the mounting screw; handle only by the ceramic base — never touch the element.
5. Install — Seat the new igniter so the element aligns with the burner flame path, secure the screw, and reconnect.
6. Test — Restore power and gas, start a heat cycle, and confirm the igniter glows and burners light promptly.

Signs You Need a Replacement
