ICP Hot Surface Igniter Electrode for RGS213SFAA0AAAA — OEM | Ships Today

Overview

This genuine OEM igniter electrode (part number 1179966) is the ignition component for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS213SFAA0AAAA gas furnace. On each heating call the furnace control board energizes the igniter, which glows white-hot to light the gas at the burners. Igniters are a wear item: the brittle ceramic-and-element assembly degrades from thermal cycling and eventually cracks or stops reaching ignition temperature, leaving the furnace unable to light. Symptoms include a furnace that clicks and tries to start but never produces heat, a glow that is dim or absent, or a unit that locks out after several failed ignition attempts. Installing a fresh OEM igniter restores fast, reliable lights and prevents nuisance lockouts during cold weather.

Specifications

Compatibility

Direct fit for the ICP RGS213SFAA0AAAA and related RGS213-series furnaces marketed under ICP, Tempstar, Heil, and Comfortmaker. Verify the mounting bracket and connector match your existing igniter before installing.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Shut off gas and disconnect electrical power, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the furnace burner-compartment door.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter position, bracket, and wire routing before removing it.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter harness and unscrew the igniter from the burner assembly, handling it only by the ceramic base.
5. Install — Mount the new igniter without touching the element, then reconnect the harness.
6. Test — Restore gas and power and confirm the igniter glows and lights the burners on a heat call.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace attempts to start but never lights
• Igniter glows dim, uneven, or not at all
