Overview
This OEM hot surface igniter (OEM #1171306) ships with its matching wiring kit (OEM #1188370) for the ICP Tempstar Heil RGS120SECA0AAA gas furnace. The hot surface igniter is the component that glows incandescent-hot when the furnace begins a heating cycle, igniting the gas at the burners. Over thousands of heat cycles the silicon-carbide or silicon-nitride element becomes brittle and eventually cracks, leaving the furnace unable to light. The most common symptom is a furnace that runs the inducer and opens the gas valve but never produces flame, then locks out. Because the igniter is fragile and fails on a predictable wear curve, it is one of the top no-heat replacement parts. The included wiring kit ensures a clean, correct connection to the control board without splicing brittle factory leads.

Compatibility
Designed for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS120SECA0AAA and shared across Comfortmaker, Heil, and Tempstar furnaces using this igniter and harness combination. Verify the igniter's mounting tab and plug style against your existing unit before installing.
Installation Guide
- Safety First — Shut off gas and disconnect electrical power, then verify zero voltage at the control board with a multimeter.
- Access — Remove the furnace burner-compartment door.
- Document — Photograph the igniter position, mounting bracket, and harness routing before disconnecting.
- Remove — Unplug the igniter harness, remove the mounting screw, and carefully lift out the old element — never touch the new element's surface with bare hands.
- Install — Mount the new igniter, attach the supplied wiring kit, and confirm correct burner alignment.
- Test — Restore gas and power, call for heat, and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light within the normal trial-for-ignition window.
Signs You Need a Replacement
- Furnace runs the inducer and opens the gas valve but never lights, then locks out.
- Visible cracks, chips, or breaks in the igniter element.
- Igniter glows weakly, unevenly, or not at all during the ignition sequence.
- Intermittent no-heat calls that clear after a power reset.
