On a call for heat, the control board energizes this electrode to create the spark needed to ignite gas at the burner assembly. A cracked or worn electrode is among the most common reasons a furnace runs the inducer and gas valve but produces no heat. Typical failure symptoms include no ignition on a call for heat, repeated ignition lockouts, short-cycling after failed light attempts, and visible cracks or carbon buildup on the ceramic insulator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1179966\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDescription\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIgnitor Electrode\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirect-Spark \/ Ignition Electrode\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eICP (Tempstar \/ Heil)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFits Model\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRGS243SSAA0AAAA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGas Furnace Burner Ignition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOEM Direct Replacement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered as a direct OEM replacement for the ICP Tempstar Heil RGS243SSAA0AAAA gas furnace and other ICP-family units that share this burner and ignition assembly.
