The igniter initiates combustion at the burners on every heating call — when energized by the control board it heats to the temperature needed to ignite the gas\/air mixture. A failed igniter is among the most common causes of a no-heat furnace. Typical symptoms include the furnace cycling but never lighting, repeated ignition lockouts, a cracked or burned-out element, or an ignition-failure fault code on the control board. The element is brittle and can fail from age, thermal cycling, or a hairline crack that is only detectable by testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\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\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1179966\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDescription\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIgnitor Electrode\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHot Surface Igniter\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\u003eFit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOEM Direct Replacement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Model\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRGS243LREA0AAAA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGas Furnace Ignition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered as a direct-fit OEM replacement for the ICP\/Tempstar\/Heil RGS243LREA0AAAA gas furnace.
