Overview
This is a genuine OEM igniter electrode, part number 1179966, for ICP, Heil, and Tempstar gas/electric package units such as the RGS210HEAA0AAAA. The igniter electrode is what lights the burners at the start of every heat cycle — on a call for heat, the control board energizes the igniter so it can ignite the gas as the gas valve opens. A cracked, contaminated, or worn igniter is one of the most frequent causes of no-heat calls. Because the element is brittle and operates at extreme temperature, hairline cracks, silica buildup, or simple age cause it to stop igniting reliably, leading to lockouts after several failed trials. Replacing the igniter restores fast, dependable ignition and clears nuisance lockout faults.

Installation Guide
- Safety First — Shut off gas and disconnect power; verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
- Access — Remove the burner/service panel to reach the igniter.
- Document — Photo the igniter position, bracket, and wire routing before removal.
- Remove — Unplug the igniter lead and remove the mounting screw; handle the element by the ceramic base only — never touch the hot surface.
- Install — Mount the new igniter in the same position, confirm proper spacing/alignment to the burner, and reconnect the lead.
- Test — Restore gas and power and watch a full ignition cycle to confirm the burners light on the first trial.
Signs You Need a Replacement
- No heat — burners never light on a call.
- Furnace locks out after several ignition attempts.
- Visible cracks or white silica deposits on the element.
- Delayed ignition or audible whoomph at light-off.
