On a call for heat, the control board energizes the igniter, which glows hot to light the gas at the burners. Igniters are fragile and degrade over thousands of heating cycles — the silicon-carbide or electrode element develops hairline cracks and eventually fails open, leaving the furnace unable to light. The most common symptom is a system that cycles through its sequence and locks out on ignition failure: the inducer runs, the gas valve opens, but no flame appears. Replacing the igniter with the correct OEM part restores fast, dependable ignition every cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOEM Part Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1179966\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHot Surface Igniter \/ Ignitor Electrode\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eICP \/ Tempstar \/ Heil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFurnace Ignition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOEM Direct Replacement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirect-fit OEM replacement for the ICP\/Tempstar\/Heil RGS243HREA0AAAA and related RGS243 series units using the factory ignitor electrode.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety First\u003c\/strong\u003e — Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply; verify zero voltage with a multimeter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccess\u003c\/strong\u003e — Remove the burner compartment service panel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDocument\u003c\/strong\u003e — Photograph the igniter position and wiring before removal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemove\u003c\/strong\u003e — Unplug the igniter connector and remove the mounting screw; handle only by the ceramic base, never the element.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstall\u003c\/strong\u003e — Mount the new igniter without touching the hot-surface element, then reconnect the plug.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTest\u003c\/strong\u003e — Restore gas and power and confirm the igniter glows and lights the burners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSigns You Need a Replacement\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFurnace locks out on ignition failure with no flame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisible cracks or breaks in the igniter element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIgniter does not glow on a call for heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepeated short-cycling during the heating sequence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Returns\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShips same day before 3 PM CST. 30-day returns.
