Overview
This OEM hot surface igniter (ignitor electrode, part number 1179966) is the component that lights the burners on your ICP Tempstar Heil RGS303HFEA0AAAA gas furnace. When the thermostat calls for heat, the control board energizes the igniter, which glows red-hot to ignite the gas at the burner. Hot surface igniters are one of the most common furnace failure points because the brittle silicon-carbide or silicon-nitride element degrades with every heating cycle. Typical failure symptoms include the furnace blower running but no heat, a clicking gas valve with no flame, repeated ignition lockouts, or a visibly cracked or broken igniter element. Installing the correct OEM part restores reliable ignition and protects the control board from repeated failed-start retries.

Installation Guide
- Safety First – Disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker, shut off the gas, and verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
- Access – Remove the furnace burner compartment service panel.
- Document – Photograph the igniter bracket and wire routing before disconnecting.
- Remove – Unplug the igniter connector and unscrew the mounting bracket. Handle only by the ceramic base – never touch the fragile element.
- Install – Mount the new igniter, ensuring it aligns with the burner flame path, and reconnect the harness per your photo.
- Test – Restore gas and power, then run a heat cycle to confirm the igniter glows and the burners light.
Signs You Need a Replacement
- Furnace blows cold air or runs without igniting
- Visible cracks or breaks in the igniter element
- Repeated ignition lockouts or flashing fault codes
- Igniter no longer glows during a call for heat
