Overview
This genuine OEM hot surface igniter electrode, ICP part 1179966, is the ignition source for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS210HTCA0AAAA gas furnace. On a call for heat the control board sends voltage to the igniter, which glows red-hot and lights the gas at the burners. Hot surface igniters are a normal wear item — the brittle silicon-carbide or nitride element degrades with every heating cycle and eventually cracks or loses the ability to reach ignition temperature. When the igniter fails, the furnace draws and purges but never lights, then locks out, leaving you with no heat. Because the element is fragile, even touching its surface with bare fingers can shorten its life, so it is one of the most frequently replaced furnace parts.

Compatibility
Directly fits the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS210HTCA0AAAA furnace. Always replace with the OEM-spec igniter and connector for this model — universal igniters require an adapter harness and correct mounting bracket to seat properly in the burner flame path.
Installation Guide
- Safety First — Disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker; verify zero voltage with a multimeter and shut the gas if servicing the burner area.
- Access — Remove the furnace burner/control access panel.
- Document — Photograph the igniter bracket position and connector routing.
- Remove — Unplug the igniter connector and remove the mounting screw; handle the old element by its ceramic base only.
- Install — Mount the new igniter without touching the element, seat it in the correct flame position, and reconnect.
- Test — Restore power and confirm the igniter glows and lights the burners on a heat call.
Signs You Need a Replacement
- Furnace tries to start, purges, then locks out with no flame.
- Igniter shows a visible crack or no longer glows.
- No heat after repeated ignition retries.
- Igniter glows weakly or unevenly.
