ICP Hot Surface / Spark Igniter for RGS180HRCA0AAAA — OEM Ignition | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM igniter (sparker), part 1184216, is the ignition component for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS180HRCA0AAAA gas furnace. The igniter generates the spark or hot surface needed to light the burner gas at the start of each heating cycle. It is one of the most failure-prone parts in a furnace because it is repeatedly heated and cooled, eventually cracking or losing the ability to ignite. Typical failure symptoms include no ignition and no heat, a furnace that clicks or sparks but never lights, repeated lockouts after several failed ignition attempts, or a visibly cracked, chipped, or carbon-fouled igniter element.
