ICP Hot Surface Igniter Kit for RGS120HTCB0AAA — OEM 1171306 | Ships Today

Overview

This genuine OEM hot surface igniter (part number 1171306), supplied with the matching igniter wiring kit (1188370), fits the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS120HTCB0AAA gas furnace. The hot surface igniter is a resistive element that glows red-hot when energized, igniting the gas at the burners at the start of each heating cycle. These igniters are brittle and degrade with every thermal cycle, eventually cracking or losing the ability to reach ignition temperature. A failed igniter is the single most common cause of a furnace that runs the inducer and clicks but never lights. The included wiring kit ensures a clean, correct electrical connection during replacement.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Disconnect electrical power and shut off the gas. Verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the furnace burner-compartment door.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter position, bracket, and wiring before removal.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter harness and carefully unscrew the cracked igniter without touching the new element with bare fingers.
5. Install — Mount the new igniter, install the wiring kit, and reconnect the harness. Handle the element by its ceramic base only.
6. Test — Restore gas and power and watch a full ignition sequence: inducer, glow, gas, and flame proof.

Signs You Need a Replacement
