ICP Hot Surface Igniter Electrode for RGS300LFAA0AAAA — OEM 1179966 | Ships Today

Overview

This is the genuine OEM ignitor electrode (part number 1179966) for the ICP Tempstar Heil RGS300LFAA0AAAA gas furnace. The igniter electrode generates the high-voltage spark or hot surface that lights the burners on every heating call. When it fails, the furnace runs through its ignition sequence, fails to light, and locks out — leaving you with no heat. Symptoms of a failing igniter include repeated ignition lockouts, a furnace that clicks but never fires, visible cracks or carbon buildup on the element, and the control board flashing an ignition-failure fault code. Replacing the electrode is one of the most common furnace repairs and restores reliable, on-demand ignition.

Specifications

Compatibility

This igniter electrode is the factory-specified replacement for the ICP Tempstar Heil RGS300LFAA0AAAA furnace. ICP-built furnaces are sold under several badges — Tempstar, Heil, Comfortmaker, and others — so part 1179966 also services equivalent models across those brands. Always confirm your unit's part number against the one printed on the existing igniter before ordering.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker, and shut off the gas. Verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the furnace front service panel to expose the burner assembly.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter's mounting position and wire routing before disconnecting anything.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter wire harness, remove the mounting screw(s), and carefully withdraw the old electrode without touching the element.
5. Install — Seat the new igniter in the same position, reinstall the screws, and reconnect the harness per your photo. Handle the element by its base only.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, then run a heat cycle to confirm the burners light promptly and the furnace holds flame.

• Furnace ignites intermittently or locks out after several failed attempts
