ICP Hot Surface Igniter for RGS214HDGHAACAA — OEM Ignitor Electrode | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM hot surface igniter (ignitor electrode, part 1179966) lights the burners on your ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS214HDGHAACAA gas furnace. On each call for heat the control board energizes the igniter, its element glows red-hot, and it ignites the gas as the valve opens. The igniter is one of the most common furnace failure points: the brittle silicon-carbide or silicon-nitride element cracks from thermal cycling and vibration, and even a hairline crack stops it from reaching ignition temperature. Symptoms include no heat, repeated ignition lockouts, or an igniter that no longer glows.
