ICP Hot Surface Igniter Electrode for RGS213SRCA0AAAA | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM ignitor electrode (part #1179966) is the ignition source for the gas burners in your ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS213SRCA0AAAA furnace. On a call for heat, the control board sends power to the igniter, which heats up to glow temperature and lights the gas as the valve opens. Igniters are brittle and consumable — they degrade with every heat cycle and are the single most common no-heat failure. A cracked, eroded, or open igniter means the burners never light, leaving you with cold air or a furnace that locks out after several failed ignition attempts.

Specifications

Compatibility

Direct OEM replacement for the ICP RGS213SRCA0AAAA and compatible Tempstar, Heil, and Comfortmaker furnaces using the 1179966 igniter. Confirm the mounting bracket and connector match your existing igniter.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Turn off gas and power at the furnace switch and breaker; verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the furnace burner/service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter mounting position and wiring connector.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter lead, remove the mounting screw, and withdraw the old igniter. Handle the new one by the ceramic base only — never touch the element.
5. Install — Seat the new igniter in the same position, secure the screw, and reconnect the lead.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, then run a heat cycle and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• No heat — burners never ignite
• Furnace locks out after several ignition attempts
