ICP Hot Surface Igniter Electrode for RGS210SSEA0AAAA — OEM Ignitor | Ships Today

Overview

This is a genuine OEM igniter electrode, part number 1179966, for the ICP, Tempstar, and Heil RGS210SSEA0AAAA gas furnace. On a call for heat the control board energizes the igniter, which glows red-hot to ignite the gas at the burners; once the flame is sensed the igniter de-energizes. The igniter element is brittle and degrades with every heating cycle, eventually cracking or losing the ability to reach ignition temperature. The classic symptom is a furnace that runs the inducer and gas valve but never lights, often locking out after several failed attempts. Replacing the igniter is one of the most common gas-furnace no-heat repairs.

Specifications

Compatibility

Fits the ICP/Tempstar/Heil/Comfortmaker RGS210SSEA0AAAA and related RGS-series gas furnaces specifying OEM part 1179966. Match the mounting bracket and connector to your original igniter before installing.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Disconnect power and shut off the gas; verify zero voltage with a multimeter before working in the burner area.
2. Access — Remove the burner/service panel to expose the igniter assembly.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter position, bracket, and wiring connector.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter lead and unscrew the bracket; handle the old element only by its base.
5. Install — Mount the new igniter without touching the ceramic/element with bare fingers, and reconnect the lead.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, run a heat cycle, and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light promptly.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace runs inducer and gas valve but never ignites.
• Igniter does not glow, or glows weakly/unevenly.
• Visible cracks or breaks in the igniter element.
• Repeated ignition lockouts after several failed light attempts.
