This is a genuine OEM ignitor electrode (part number 1179966) for ICP, Heil, and Tempstar gas furnaces, including the RGS300SRAA0AAAA. The igniter heats to a glowing temperature when the control board calls for heat, lighting the gas at the burners on each cycle. Because it is a heated ceramic element, it is brittle and wears out over time — it is one of the most frequently replaced furnace parts. A cracked or failed igniter is the most common reason a furnace blows cold air or locks out on ignition failure: the inducer runs and the gas valve may open, but with no glowing igniter the burners never light and the board shuts down on safety. Installing this OEM electrode restores reliable ignition. Handle it only by the ceramic base — skin oils from touching the element shorten its life.
