Overview

This is the genuine OEM igniter electrode (OEM part number 1179966) for the ICP/Heil/Tempstar RGS240SSFA0AAAA gas furnace. The igniter is energized at the start of each heating cycle, glowing red-hot to ignite the gas at the burners. Because it is repeatedly heated and cooled, the igniter element is a high-wear component and one of the most common no-heat failures. A cracked, eroded, or open igniter element prevents ignition, leaving the furnace to lock out after several failed trials. Replacing the igniter restores reliable, on-demand ignition and is a routine part of furnace maintenance.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct OEM replacement for the ICP RGS240SSFA0AAAA and the broader Heil, Tempstar, and Comfortmaker RGS-series gas furnaces that use this igniter electrode. Verify the connector style and mounting bracket against your original before installing.

Installation Guide

  1. Safety First — Shut off gas and disconnect power; verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
  2. Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel.
  3. Document — Photograph the igniter position and wiring before removing.
  4. Remove — Unplug the igniter harness and remove the mounting screw; handle the element only by its ceramic base, never the silicon-carbide tip.
  5. Install — Mount the new igniter, keeping fingers off the element, and reconnect the harness per your photo.
  6. Test — Restore gas and power and confirm the igniter glows and lights the burners.

My furnace won’t ignite. What part is bad?
Furnace won’t ignite after the draft inducer runs = failed igniter. The hot surface igniter should glow bright orange within 60 seconds. No glow = cracked/burned out. Weak glow = degrading. Average lifespan: 3–7 years. Replacement: $15–$40 DIY.
Is this igniter compatible with Bryant or Payne too?
Many ICP parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.
Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my ICP igniter?
OEM recommended for reliability and warranty compatibility. OEM parts match exact factory specifications for proper fit, performance, and safety. While aftermarket alternatives cost less upfront, the risk of improper fit and reduced lifespan usually makes OEM the better value long-term.
