ICP Hot Surface Igniter Electrode for RGS214SEAA0AAAA | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM igniter electrode (part number 1179966) is the ignition source that lights the burners on your ICP, Tempstar, and Heil gas furnace. When the thermostat calls for heat, the control board energizes the igniter, which heats to a precise temperature to ignite the gas at the burner. Igniters are brittle and degrade with every heating cycle — a cracked element, carbon buildup, or an open circuit will prevent the furnace from lighting, leaving you with cold air or a unit that locks out after several failed ignition attempts. Installing a fresh OEM electrode restores fast, reliable ignition and prevents nuisance lockouts.

Specifications

Compatibility

Designed for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil model RGS214SEAA0AAAA and other furnaces that originally used OEM part 1179966. Match the mounting bracket, terminal, and element shape to your existing igniter before installing.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Turn off the gas, disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker, and verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the burner-compartment service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter position, bracket, and wire routing before removal.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter connector and remove the mounting screw(s); handle only by the ceramic base — never touch the element.
5. Install — Seat the new electrode in the same position, secure it, and reconnect the harness.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, call for heat, and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace blows cold air or won't light
• Visible crack, chip, or carbon on the igniter element
• Igniter glows weakly or not at all during the heat call
• Furnace locks out after repeated failed ignition attempts
