Overview
This OEM ICP igniter electrode (part number 1179966) is the ignition component responsible for lighting the burners in your ICP Tempstar/Heil RGS243SSEA0AAAA gas furnace. When the thermostat calls for heat, the control board energizes this electrode to create the spark or hot surface needed to ignite the gas at the burner assembly. A failed or cracked electrode is one of the most common causes of a furnace that runs the inducer and gas valve but never produces heat. Typical failure symptoms include no ignition on a call for heat, repeated ignition lockouts, a furnace that short-cycles after several failed light attempts, or visible cracks and carbon buildup on the ceramic insulator.

Compatibility

Installation Guide
- Safety First — Shut off gas and disconnect electrical power at the furnace switch and breaker. Verify zero voltage with a multimeter before touching any wiring.
- Access — Remove the furnace blower/burner service panel to expose the burner assembly.
- Document — Photograph the electrode wire routing and bracket position before removing anything.
- Remove — Disconnect the ignition lead and remove the screw(s) securing the old electrode bracket; lift the electrode clear of the burner.
- Install — Mount the new electrode, setting the gap to factory spec, and reconnect the ignition lead per your photo.
- Test — Restore gas and power, run a heat cycle, and confirm clean, immediate ignition with no lockouts.
Signs You Need a Replacement
- Furnace runs inducer and gas valve but never lights
- Repeated ignition lockouts or flashing control-board error codes
- Cracked ceramic insulator or carbon/corrosion on the electrode tip
