Overview
This OEM igniter electrode (part number 1179966) is the hot surface ignitor that lights the burners on your ICP RGS240SRFA0AAAA gas furnace. On each call for heat, the control board energizes the igniter so its element glows red-hot, igniting the gas as the valve opens. Hot surface igniters are brittle and wear out from thermal cycling, hairline cracks, and contamination, making them one of the most common no-heat failures. When the igniter fails, the furnace cycles the inducer but never lights, then locks out — often after several attempts. Replacing the igniter restores fast, reliable burner ignition and dependable heat.

Compatibility
This hot surface igniter electrode is the factory replacement for the ICP RGS240SRFA0AAAA gas furnace and compatible Tempstar, Heil, and International Comfort Products furnaces using the same ignitor assembly. Confirm the part number reads 1179966 and that the mounting bracket matches before installing. Handle the element only by its base — never touch the igniter surface with bare fingers.
Installation Guide
- Safety First — Disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker, and shut off the gas. Verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
- Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel to expose the igniter at the burner.
- Document — Photograph the igniter position, bracket, and wiring before removal.
- Remove — Unplug the igniter connector, remove the mounting screw, and carefully withdraw the old igniter.
- Install — Mount the new 1179966 igniter without touching the element, then reconnect the harness per photo.
- Test — Restore gas and power, run a heat cycle, and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light promptly.
