ICP Hot Surface Ignitor Electrode for RGS213HTEA0AAAA — OEM 1179966 | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM ignitor electrode (ICP part #1179966, IGNITOR ELECTRODE) is the hot surface igniter that lights the burners in your ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS213HTEA0AAAA gas furnace. On each heat call the control board energizes the igniter, its element glows to ignition temperature, and the gas valve opens to light the burners. Igniters are fragile and wear out over thousands of cycles; a cracked or burned-out element is one of the most frequent causes of no-heat calls. A genuine OEM igniter ensures correct glow temperature and reliable lighting.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Disconnect power and verify zero voltage with a multimeter; shut off the gas supply.
2. Access — Remove the burner-compartment service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter bracket position and wiring connector before removal.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter connector, remove the mounting screw, and carefully withdraw the old igniter without touching the element.
5. Install — Mount the new igniter (handle by the ceramic base only — never the element), secure the screw, and reconnect the plug.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, start a heat cycle, and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light promptly.
