ICP Hot Surface Igniter for RGS244HFEA0AAAA — OEM Igniter Electrode 1179966 | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM hot surface igniter electrode (1179966) lights the burners on every heat call in the ICP Tempstar/Heil RGS244HFEA0AAAA gas furnace. When the control board energizes it, the element glows red-hot to ignite the gas. Igniters are a common wear item — they grow brittle with thermal cycling and eventually crack or burn out, leaving you with a furnace that runs the inducer and tries to light but produces no flame, then locks out on ignition failure. Installing a fresh igniter is the fastest fix for no-heat calls caused by failed ignition.

Specifications

Compatibility

Engineered for the ICP Tempstar Heil RGS244HFEA0AAAA gas furnace and shared across related RGS-series furnaces and matching ICP/Comfortmaker/Arcoaire equipment. Match the igniter's mounting bracket and connector to your original before installing. Handle the fragile element by the ceramic base only — never touch the hot surface tip.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the burner-compartment service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter position, bracket, and wire routing before removal.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter connector, remove the mounting screw, and carefully withdraw the brittle element.
5. Install — Mount the new igniter by its ceramic base only, set the correct gap/position, and reconnect the harness.
6. Test — Restore power, call for heat, and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light within the normal sequence.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace tries to light but burners never ignite
• Igniter does not glow during the ignition sequence
• Furnace locks out on repeated ignition failure
• Visible cracks, white spots, or breaks in the element
