ICP Hot Surface Igniter Kit for RGS120STAA0AAA | OEM 1171306 | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM hot surface igniter (part 1171306) with its matching wiring kit (part 1188370) ignites the burners on the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS120STAA0AAA gas furnace. On a call for heat, the control board energizes the igniter, which glows white-hot to light the gas at the burners. Hot surface igniters are brittle and degrade with every heating cycle — a cracked or open igniter is the leading cause of no-heat calls, producing a furnace that clicks and runs the inducer but never lights. The included wiring kit ensures a clean, factory-correct electrical connection.

Specifications

Compatibility

Designed for the ICP Tempstar Heil RGS120STAA0AAA gas furnace. Handle the igniter only by its ceramic base — skin oils and physical contact with the silicon-carbide element shorten its life.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Shut off gas and disconnect power; verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the burner-compartment service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter bracket position and wiring routing.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter connector, unscrew the mounting bracket, and lift the fragile igniter out carefully.
5. Install — Mount the new igniter (handle by the base only), connect using the supplied wiring kit, and route the harness clear of hot surfaces.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, call for heat, and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light within the trial period.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace runs the inducer but burners never light
• Visible cracks or breaks in the igniter element
• No glow when a heat cycle is called
• Open circuit / infinite resistance reading across the igniter
