The igniter electrode is the component that lights the burners at the start of every heat cycle — when the control board calls for heat and gas flows, the electrode provides the high-temperature ignition source to establish the flame. Igniters are a wear item: repeated thermal shock from heating and cooling eventually cracks the element or erodes the electrode tip, leaving the furnace unable to light. The classic symptom is a unit that runs through its ignition sequence — inducer and gas valve operate — but never lights, often locking out after several failed attempts and dropping the blower. A hairline crack in the element is frequently invisible to the eye, so a failed ignition with a confirmed gas supply usually points straight to the igniter. Installing the exact OEM electrode restores fast, reliable light-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\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\u003eIgniter Electrode\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHot Surface \/ 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\u003eFunction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBurner ignition source\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOEM direct replacement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRGS244HREA0AAAA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirect-fit OEM ignition electrode for the RGS244HREA0AAAA package unit and related ICP-family Tempstar\/Heil\/Comfortmaker units that use the 1179966 igniter.
