ICP Hot Surface Igniter Electrode for RGS240LSEA0AAAA — Direct-Fit | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM hot surface igniter electrode (part #1179966) is the component that ignites the gas burners during the heating cycle of your ICP RGS240LSEA0AAAA package unit. When the control board calls for heat, the igniter heats to a glowing temperature, lighting the gas as it flows from the burners. Igniters are a wear item — the silicon carbide or silicon nitride element becomes brittle and eventually cracks, leaving you with a furnace that clicks and runs the inducer but never lights, resulting in no heat.

Compatibility

Direct-fit replacement for ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS240LSEA0AAAA package units and compatible RGS240-series gas/electric models using the same burner ignition assembly.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Turn off gas and disconnect electrical power; verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the furnace burner compartment panel.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter bracket position and wiring before disconnecting.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter connector and remove the mounting screw; handle the old igniter only by its ceramic base.
5. Install — Mount the new igniter without touching the element with bare fingers, then reconnect the harness.
6. Test — Restore gas and power and confirm the igniter glows and burners light on a heat call.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace runs the inducer but burners never light
• No glow visible at the igniter during a heat call
