Overview
This is the genuine OEM igniter electrode (part number 1179966) for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS240LEAA0AAAA gas furnace. The igniter heats up on each heat call to ignite the gas at the burners; it is the same proven ignition component used across this ICP furnace family. A failing igniter is one of the most common no-heat causes — the furnace tries to start but never lights, then locks out. Because the element degrades with every ignition cycle and is brittle, it eventually cracks or stops glowing. Replacing it with the exact OEM unit restores fast, dependable light-off and prevents repeated lockouts during cold-weather demand.

Compatibility
This igniter is the factory-specified part for the ICP RGS240LEAA0AAAA gas furnace and many ICP-family gas furnaces sold under the Tempstar, Heil, Comfortmaker, and Arcoaire brands using the same burner assembly. Confirm against your unit's parts list or existing igniter before ordering.
Installation Guide
- Safety First — Shut off the gas supply and disconnect power at the furnace switch or breaker. Verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
- Access — Remove the furnace burner/control compartment service panel.
- Document — Photograph the igniter wiring and bracket orientation before disconnecting.
- Remove — Unplug the igniter connector and remove the mounting screw(s), handling the old igniter only by its ceramic base.
- Install — Mount the new igniter without touching the element with bare fingers and reconnect the wiring per your photo.
- Test — Restore gas and power, run a heat cycle, and confirm the igniter glows and burners light promptly.
Signs You Need a Replacement
