ICP Hot Surface Igniter Electrode for RGS213LREA0AAAA — Direct Spark Ignitor | Ships Today

Overview

This is a genuine OEM ignitor electrode (part number 1179966) for the ICP Tempstar Heil RGS213LREA0AAAA gas furnace. The igniter electrode is responsible for creating the ignition spark or surface heat that lights the burners during a call for heat. When the electrode degrades, cracks, or becomes contaminated with carbon, the furnace will fail to ignite, short-cycle, or lock out on ignition failure. Replacing the electrode restores reliable, on-demand ignition and prevents nuisance no-heat calls during the heating season.

Specifications

Compatibility

Engineered as a direct-fit replacement for the ICP Tempstar Heil RGS213LREA0AAAA gas furnace and other models in the RGS213 family that use OEM electrode 1179966. Always confirm the part number against your existing electrode before ordering.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker, shut off the gas, and verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the electrode position, gap, and ignition wire routing before disconnecting.
4. Remove — Disconnect the high-voltage ignition lead, remove the mounting screw(s), and lift out the old electrode and gasket.
5. Install — Mount the new electrode with the correct gap, reattach the ignition lead, and seat the gasket per your photo.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, then run a heat cycle to confirm clean, immediate ignition.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace locks out on ignition failure or repeated retries
• No spark or weak/erratic spark at the burners
