Overview
This is the genuine OEM igniter electrode (part number 1179966) for the ICP / Heil / Tempstar RGS181HEBB0AGAA gas furnace. The igniter electrode produces the high-voltage spark that lights the main burners on every call for heat. Located at the burner assembly, its ceramic insulator and electrode tip must stay clean, crack-free, and correctly gapped for dependable ignition. A cracked insulator, eroded tip, or carbon fouling leads to hard starts, delayed ignition, repeated ignition lockouts, or a furnace that energizes the inducer and gas valve but never lights. Installing a new igniter electrode restores fast, consistent burner ignition and clears nuisance lockout faults.

Compatibility

Installation Guide
- Safety First — Shut off gas and disconnect electrical power at the furnace switch and breaker. Verify zero voltage with a multimeter before touching any wiring.
- Access — Remove the furnace burner-compartment service panel.
- Document — Photograph the igniter wire routing and mounting orientation before disconnecting.
- Remove — Disconnect the high-voltage igniter lead, remove the mounting screw(s) at the burner bracket, and lift out the old electrode without striking the ceramic insulator.
- Install — Mount the new igniter electrode in the same position, match the spark gap to the old part, and reconnect the igniter lead per your photo.
- Test — Restore gas and power, run a heat cycle, and confirm a clean spark and prompt main-burner ignition with no lockout.
Signs You Need a Replacement
- Furnace runs the inducer and opens the gas valve but burners fail to light.
- Repeated ignition lockouts or flashing fault codes on the control board.
- Delayed ignition with a "whump" or rollout at startup.
- Cracked ceramic insulator or a corroded/eroded electrode tip.
