ICP Hot Surface Igniter Electrode for RGS210STAA0AAAA | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM igniter electrode (part number 1179966) for ICP, Tempstar, and Heil gas furnaces provides the hot surface ignition needed to light the burners on each heating call. When the control board energizes the igniter it heats to a glowing temperature; once proven, the gas valve opens and the burners light. Igniters are a wear item — the element becomes brittle with thermal cycling and eventually cracks or opens, leaving the furnace unable to light. A furnace that runs the inducer and blower but produces no heat, or locks out after several failed trials, is the classic symptom of a failed igniter. Replacing it restores fast, reliable burner ignition.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First – Shut off gas and disconnect power, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access – Remove the furnace burner / control compartment door.
3. Document – Photograph the igniter position, bracket, and wiring connector before removal.
4. Remove – Unplug the igniter connector and remove the mounting screw(s); handle only by the ceramic base, never the fragile element.
5. Install – Mount the new igniter without touching the element, then reconnect the wiring connector per your photo.
6. Test – Restore gas and power and watch a full ignition cycle to confirm the burners light promptly.
