ICP Hot Surface Igniter Electrode for RGS210HSCA0AAAA — OEM | Ships Today

Overview

This genuine OEM igniter electrode (part 1179966) for the ICP / Heil / Tempstar RGS210HSCA0AAAA is responsible for igniting the burner gas on every call for heat. On each heating cycle the control board energizes the igniter, it heats to ignition temperature, and the gas valve opens to light the burners. Because it is stressed by repeated thermal expansion and contraction, the igniter is one of the most common furnace failure points. A cracked or worn igniter is the usual cause of a furnace that runs the inducer and clicks but never lights, or that lights intermittently before locking out.

Specifications

Compatibility

Fits the ICP-built RGS210HSCA0AAAA and related Heil, Tempstar, Comfortmaker, and Arcoaire gas furnaces using this ignition electrode. Match OEM number 1179966 and the mounting/bracket style to your existing igniter before ordering.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Shut off gas and disconnect power; verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter position, bracket, and wire routing.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter connector and remove the mounting screw(s). Handle only by the ceramic base — never touch the fragile igniter element.
5. Install — Mount the new igniter in the exact original position, ensuring proper alignment to the burner, and reconnect the plug.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, start a heat call, and confirm the igniter glows and the burner lights promptly.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Inducer runs and you hear clicks but the burner never lights
• Furnace ignites intermittently or short-cycles on ignition lockout
• Visible cracks or breaks in the igniter element
• No glow from the igniter during the ignition sequence
