Overview
This is the genuine OEM igniter electrode (part number 1179966) for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS240LEEA0AAAA gas furnace. The igniter is the component that initiates combustion at the burners on every heat call. When the thermostat calls for heat, the control board energizes the igniter, which heats up to glow and ignite the gas flowing from the gas valve. A weak or cracked igniter is one of the most common causes of intermittent or no-heat furnace failures. Typical symptoms of a failing igniter include the furnace clicking or trying to start but never lighting, short-cycling on heat, visible cracks or pitting on the igniter element, or a glow that is dim or absent. Because the igniter is a wear item that degrades with every ignition cycle, replacing it with an exact OEM unit restores reliable, fast light-off.

Compatibility
This igniter is the factory-specified part for the ICP RGS240LEEA0AAAA gas furnace and is shared across many ICP-family gas furnaces sold under the Tempstar, Heil, Comfortmaker, and Arcoaire brands using the same burner assembly. Always 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). Handle the old igniter only by its ceramic base.
- Install — Mount the new igniter, never touching the element with bare fingers, and reconnect the wiring per your photo.
- Test — Restore gas and power, then run a heat cycle and confirm the igniter glows and burners light promptly.
Signs You Need a Replacement
