Overview
The ICP igniter electrode (OEM part 1179966) is the ignition component that initiates the burner flame in your ICP, Heil, and Tempstar RGS303HTAA0AAAA gas furnace. On every call for heat the control board energizes this electrode to ignite the gas at the burner. When the electrode cracks, carbons over, or loses its glow, the furnace will lock out after several failed ignition attempts and the system will stop producing heat. Common failure symptoms include no ignition, repeated lockouts, delayed ignition with a small "poof," or an error code on the control board indicating ignition failure. This is a genuine OEM electrode built to the exact resistance and positioning specifications of the original.

Compatibility
This igniter electrode is a direct OEM fit for the ICP/Heil/Tempstar RGS303HTAA0AAAA gas furnace. It is also used across many ICP-family RGS-series furnaces that share the same burner assembly. Always confirm your model and serial number against the part before installing.
Installation Guide
- Safety First — Disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker, then shut off the gas supply. Verify zero voltage with a multimeter before touching any component.
- Access — Remove the furnace burner-compartment service panel.
- Document — Photograph the igniter mounting and wire routing before disconnecting.
- Remove — Disconnect the igniter lead, remove the mounting screw(s), and carefully withdraw the old electrode from the burner. Handle by the bracket only — never touch the igniter element.
- Install — Mount the new electrode in the same position and gap, reconnect the lead per your photo, and secure the bracket.
- Test — Restore gas and power, then run a heat cycle and confirm clean, immediate ignition.
Signs You Need a Replacement
- Furnace ignites intermittently or not at all
- Repeated ignition lockouts or ignition-failure error codes
