Overview

This OEM ignitor electrode (part 1179966) is the ignition source for your ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS240HDAA0AGAA gas furnace. On each call for heat the igniter heats to incandescence and lights the burners, then the flame-sensing electrode confirms a stable flame. Igniters are a common wear item — repeated thermal cycling causes the element to crack, develop hot spots, or simply fail open. The result is no ignition, repeated lockouts, or short cycling. Installing the correct OEM electrode restores fast, dependable light-off and proper flame proving.
