ICP Hot Surface Igniter for RGS101SFAB0AAAA — OEM 1171306 with Wiring Kit | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM hot surface igniter (part #1171306) is the ignition component for the ICP Tempstar Heil RGS101SFAB0AAAA gas furnace, and ships with the matching igniter wiring kit (#1188370) for a complete, plug-ready replacement. The igniter is a 120V silicon-carbide/silicon-nitride element that glows red-hot on a call for heat to ignite the gas at the burner. It is one of the most common furnace failure points: the element is brittle and degrades with every heating cycle. Typical failure symptoms are no ignition, the furnace running the inducer and gas valve but never lighting, repeated lockouts after three or four trial cycles, and a visibly cracked or non-glowing element.

Specifications

Compatibility

Engineered for the ICP Tempstar Heil RGS101SFAB0AAAA furnace and shared platform models across the ICP family (Tempstar, Heil, Comfortmaker). Always confirm against your unit's model and serial tag before installing.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker; verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter mounting and wiring before disconnecting.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter connector, remove the mounting screw, and lift the old element out without touching the new element's surface (skin oils shorten its life).
5. Install — Mount the new igniter, install the supplied wiring kit, and reconnect per your photo.
6. Test — Restore power and watch a full ignition cycle to confirm the element glows and the burners light.
