Overview
The ICP igniter electrode (OEM part 1179966) is the ignition component responsible for lighting the burners on your RGS240LTFA0AAAA gas furnace. On each call for heat, the furnace control board energizes this igniter to create the high-temperature surface or spark needed to ignite the gas at the burner. Over thousands of heating cycles the igniter element degrades from thermal stress and oxidation, eventually cracking or failing to reach ignition temperature. When that happens the furnace will lock out after several failed ignition attempts, leaving you with no heat. Replacing a worn igniter electrode with the exact OEM part restores reliable, on-demand ignition.

Compatibility
This igniter electrode is engineered as a direct OEM replacement for the ICP RGS240LTFA0AAAA gas furnace and is shared across the Tempstar, Heil, and Comfortmaker families that use ICP part 1179966.

Installation Guide
- Safety First — Shut off the gas supply and disconnect electrical power at the furnace switch or breaker. Verify zero voltage with a multimeter before touching any wiring.
- Access — Remove the furnace burner-compartment service panel.
- Document — Photograph the igniter mounting position and wire routing before disconnecting anything.
- Remove — Unplug the igniter wire harness, remove the mounting screw(s), and carefully withdraw the old igniter electrode. Handle the new part only by its ceramic base — never touch the igniter element.
- Install — Mount the new igniter in the same position, secure the screw(s), and reconnect the wire harness per your photo.
- Test — Restore gas and power, then run a heat cycle and confirm the burners light promptly and stay lit.
Signs You Need a Replacement
- Furnace tries to ignite several times then locks out with no heat
- Visible cracks, chips, or hot spots on the igniter element
