ICP Hot Surface Igniter Electrode for RGS213LSAA0AAAA | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM hot surface igniter electrode (part number 1179966) is the component that lights the burners on the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS213LSAA0AAAA furnace. On a call for heat, the control board sends 120V to the igniter, which glows red-hot to ignite the gas as the valve opens. Igniters are brittle and wear out from repeated heating cycles. Typical failure symptoms include a furnace that runs the inducer and blower but never produces heat, no visible glow during the ignition sequence, a cracked or chipped igniter element, and short-cycling on ignition lockout.

Specifications

Compatibility

A direct OEM fit for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS213LSAA0AAAA gas furnace and compatible with ICP-family furnaces that use this igniter electrode assembly. Verify the mounting bracket orientation and connector style against your existing igniter before installing.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Shut off gas and disconnect electrical power, then verify zero voltage at the igniter leads with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the furnace burner compartment door to reach the igniter.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter position, bracket, and wiring connector before removal.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter connector and remove the mounting screw; lift the old igniter out, handling only by the ceramic base — never touch the silicon-carbide element.
5. Install — Set the new igniter so the element sits in the burner flame path, secure the bracket screw, and reconnect the plug.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, then run a heat cycle and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light promptly.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace inducer and blower run but no heat is produced.
