ICP Hot Surface Igniter Electrode for RGS213LEEA0AAAA — OEM 1179966 | Ships Today

Overview

This is the genuine OEM igniter electrode (part number 1179966) for the ICP / Heil / Tempstar RGS213LEEA0AAAA gas furnace. The igniter lights the main burners on every heat call — when energized during the ignition sequence the element heats and ignites the gas. A cracked, eroded, or open igniter is one of the most common reasons a furnace clicks or attempts to start but never produces heat. This is a brittle ceramic-element part; handle it only by the ceramic base and avoid touching the element with bare fingers, since skin oils shorten its service life.

Specifications

Compatibility

Engineered as a direct-fit replacement for the ICP/Heil/Tempstar RGS213LEEA0AAAA furnace and other Comfortmaker-family units that originally shipped with OEM part 1179966. Confirm your existing igniter part number before ordering.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Shut off gas and disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker. Verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the lower burner-compartment service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter bracket and wire routing before disconnecting.
4. Remove — Disconnect the igniter plug, remove the mounting screw, and carefully withdraw the old electrode without bumping the burners.
5. Install — Mount the new igniter, holding it only by the ceramic base, and reconnect the plug exactly as photographed.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, run a heat cycle, and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light cleanly.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace tries to ignite but never lights the burners.
• Visible cracks, blistering, or breaks in the igniter element.
• Igniter no longer glows during the ignition sequence.
