Overview
This is the genuine OEM igniter electrode (part number 1179966) for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS240LRAA0AAAA gas/electric package unit. On a heat call, the igniter electrically heats until it glows hot enough to light the gas burners. Igniters are brittle and degrade with every cycle, so they are one of the most common no-heat failure points. Typical symptoms include no heat with the blower still running, a furnace that locks out after several ignition attempts, a glow that is dim or absent, and a visibly cracked or worn igniter element. Because the igniter is fragile, never touch the hot surface with bare fingers — skin oils create hot spots that shorten its life. Installing the correct OEM igniter restores fast, reliable ignition and clears repeated lockout faults.

- Document — Photograph the igniter position, bracket, and wire routing before disconnecting.

- Test — Restore gas and power, place a heat call, and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light.
