ICP Hot Surface Igniter Electrode for RGS214LRAA0AAAA | Ships Today

Overview

This is a genuine OEM igniter electrode (OEM part #1179966) for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS214LRAA0AAAA gas furnace. The igniter electrode is the component that generates the spark or hot surface needed to light the main burners at the start of each heat cycle. On a call for heat, the control board energizes the igniter; once it reaches ignition temperature the gas valve opens and the burners light. The electrode is a wear item — repeated heat-up and cool-down cycles eventually crack, erode, or break the element. A failed igniter is one of the most common causes of a furnace that runs its inducer and blower but never produces heat.

Specifications

Compatibility

Direct-fit replacement for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS214LRAA0AAAA furnace and other ICP-family furnaces that specify OEM part 1179966. Confirm your current igniter part number before ordering.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Shut off gas and power to the furnace; verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the furnace burner-compartment access panel.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter mounting position and wire routing before disconnecting.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter connector and remove the mounting screw(s); handle the old element only by its ceramic base.
5. Install — Mount the new igniter without touching the element with bare fingers, then reconnect the harness per your photo.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, call for heat, and watch the igniter glow/spark and the burners light cleanly.

Signs You Need a Replacement
