ICP Hot Surface Igniter for RGS101LEBA0AAAA — 120V Silicon Carbide | Ships Today

Overview

This is the genuine OEM hot surface igniter (part #1171306) for the ICP / Heil / Tempstar RGS101LEBA0AAAA gas furnace, supplied with its matching igniter wiring kit (part #1188370). The hot surface igniter is the component that glows red-hot at the start of each heating cycle to ignite the gas at the burners. It operates on 120V and is the single most common failure point in a modern furnace ignition sequence. When the igniter cracks or weakens, the furnace will run its blower and inducer but produce no heat, or will short-cycle on a failed ignition lockout. Replacing the igniter together with its wiring kit restores reliable, fast ignition.

Specifications

Compatibility

Engineered as a direct-fit replacement for the ICP-family RGS101LEBA0AAAA gas furnace and shared chassis sold under the Heil, Tempstar, and Comfortmaker labels. Always confirm the OEM number stamped on your existing igniter before ordering.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Shut off gas and disconnect power at the furnace switch; verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the furnace blower-compartment and burner service panels.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter mounting and the wiring harness routing before disconnecting.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter connector, remove the mounting screw, and lift the old igniter clear of the burner — handle by the ceramic base only, never the fragile element.
5. Install — Seat the new igniter so the element sits in the burner flame path, secure the screw, and connect the new wiring kit.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, then watch a full cycle: the igniter should glow bright orange and light the burners within seconds.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace runs but never produces heat (no ignition)
• Visible crack, blistering, or white spots on the igniter element
• Repeated ignition lockouts or short-cycling on call for heat
• Igniter glows weakly or not at all during the ignition sequence
