ICP Hot Surface Igniter Electrode for RGS214LEAA0AAAA — OEM | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM igniter electrode (part #1179966) is the ignition source for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS214LEAA0AAAA furnace. On each heat call, the control board energizes the igniter so it glows hot and lights the burner gas. Over time the fragile element develops hairline cracks, carbon buildup, or simply burns out from thousands of heating cycles. A failed igniter is one of the most common causes of no-heat calls: the inducer runs and the gas valve clicks, but the burners never light. Replacing a worn igniter restores fast, dependable ignition and prevents repeated lockouts.

Specifications

Compatibility

Direct OEM fit for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS214LEAA0AAAA and related RGS214 series gas furnaces. Match the part number and mounting bracket to your existing igniter before installing. Handle the element only by the ceramic base — finger oils on the element shorten its life.

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 disconnecting.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter connector and remove the mounting screw(s). Lift the old igniter out carefully, avoiding contact with the burners.
5. Install — Mount the new igniter at the same depth and angle, handling it only by the ceramic base, then reconnect the plug.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, start a heat cycle, and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light promptly.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace runs the inducer and clicks the gas valve but burners never light
• Visible cracks or breaks in the igniter element
• Igniter glows weakly or not at all
