ICP Hot Surface Igniter & Wiring Kit for RGS091HRAB0AAAA — OEM | Ships Today

Overview

This is the genuine OEM hot surface igniter (part #1171306) with its matching igniter wiring kit (part #1188370) for the ICP / Heil / Tempstar RGS091HRAB0AAAA gas furnace. The hot surface igniter glows to high temperature when the control board calls for heat, lighting the burners on each cycle. Because the igniter is a brittle silicon-carbide (or nitride) element, it is one of the most common no-heat failures — it cracks from age, thermal stress, or handling, or simply burns out after thousands of cycles. The included wiring kit provides the correct connector and harness so you get a complete, plug-and-play replacement rather than splicing into the old leads.

Specifications

Compatibility

Designed for the ICP / Heil / Tempstar / Comfortmaker RGS091HRAB0AAAA gas furnace and related RGS-series furnaces using this hot surface ignition system. Handle the igniter element only by its ceramic base — never touch the glow area.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the furnace burner-compartment service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter position, bracket, and wiring connector before removing.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter harness, remove the mounting screw(s), and carefully lift out the old element.
5. Install — Mount the new igniter (handling only the ceramic base), connect the new wiring kit, and route the harness clear of hot surfaces.
6. Test — Restore power, start a heat cycle, and confirm the igniter glows bright and the burners light promptly.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• No heat — furnace blower runs but burners never light
• Igniter does not glow or glows weakly
• Visible cracks or breaks in the igniter element
• Furnace locks out after several failed ignition attempts
