Overview
This OEM hot surface igniter (ignitor electrode, part number 1179966) is the ignition source for the ICP/Heil/Tempstar RGS303HSFA0AAAA gas furnace. When the thermostat calls for heat, the control board energizes this igniter, which glows red-hot to light the burners. As one of the highest-wear components in any furnace, the igniter is a leading cause of no-heat service calls. Its silicon-nitride/carbide element is brittle and degrades with every heating cycle until it can no longer reach ignition temperature. Common failure symptoms include the furnace blower running with no heat, a clicking control board that never lights the burners, or a visibly cracked or burned-out igniter element.
