ICP Hot Surface Igniter Electrode for RGS210STCA0AAAA | Ships Today

Overview

This genuine OEM igniter electrode, part number 1179966, is the ignition component for the ICP, Tempstar, and Heil RGS210 gas furnace. On a call for heat, the furnace control board energizes the igniter, which heats to ignition temperature and lights the gas at the burners. The igniter is a high-wear part — repeated thermal cycling makes the element brittle until it cracks or opens. A failed igniter is one of the most common causes of no-heat calls, because without it the gas valve will not be allowed to open or the flame will never establish.

Specifications

Compatibility

Designed for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS210STCA0AAAA and related gas furnaces that use igniter 1179966. Match the mounting bracket and connector to your existing igniter before installing.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First – Disconnect power and shut off the gas, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access – Remove the burner compartment panel to reach the igniter.
3. Document – Photograph the igniter position, bracket, and wire routing before removal.
4. Remove – Unplug the connector and remove the mounting screw; handle the old igniter by the ceramic base only.
5. Install – Mount the new igniter without touching the element with bare hands (oils cause hot spots), then reconnect.
6. Test – Restore gas and power, call for heat, and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace clicks and tries to ignite but never lights.
• Igniter does not glow on a heat call.
• Visible cracks or breaks in the igniter element.
