Overview

This OEM igniter electrode (part 1179966) fits the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS243HFFA0AAAA furnace and is responsible for igniting the burner gas at the start of every heating cycle. The electrode generates the high-temperature ignition source the furnace control monitors during light-off; if it cracks, carbons over, or loses continuity, the furnace will fail to ignite, lock out after several tries, or produce no heat despite the blower running. Installing the correct OEM electrode restores fast, consistent ignition and proper flame proving.

Installation Guide

  1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter. Shut off the gas supply.
  2. Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel.
  3. Document — Photograph the igniter position, gap, and wiring before removal.
  4. Remove — Disconnect the igniter lead and unfasten the electrode bracket; handle by the base, never the element.
  5. Install — Mount the new electrode at the same position and gap, then reconnect the lead per your photo.
  6. Test — Restore gas and power, start a heat call, and confirm clean ignition and a steady flame.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I replace the igniter on my ICP RGS243HFFA0AAAA | Ships Today?

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.
