This OEM hot surface igniter electrode (OEM 1179966) lights the burners on your ICP / Heil / Tempstar RGS240HEEA0AAAA gas furnace. On each call for heat, the control board sends 120V to the igniter, which glows white-hot to ignite the gas as it leaves the burners. The igniter is one of the most frequently replaced furnace parts because the element is brittle and degrades with every heating cycle — thermal stress eventually cracks it. A furnace that clicks and tries to start but never produces heat, then locks out after several attempts, is the classic symptom of a cracked or burned-out igniter. Because the element is fragile, never touch its surface with bare fingers — skin oils create hot spots that shorten its life.
