ICP Igniter Electrode for RGS210HEEA0AAAA — OEM 1179966 | Ships Today

Overview

This genuine OEM igniter electrode, part number 1179966, provides the spark that lights the burners in ICP, Heil, and Tempstar gas furnaces. The electrode sits at the burner and generates the high-voltage arc that ignites gas at the start of each heat cycle. Over time the electrode tip erodes, cracks, or fouls with carbon, leading to delayed ignition, repeated ignition retries, hard lockouts, or no heat at all. Replacing a worn electrode restores fast, dependable light-off and prevents the unsafe gas accumulation that comes from failed ignition attempts.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Turn off the gas supply, disconnect power, and verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the electrode position, gap, and wire routing before removal.
4. Remove — Disconnect the ignition lead and unscrew the old electrode from the burner bracket.
5. Install — Mount the new electrode, set the correct spark gap per the unit spec, and reconnect the ignition lead.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, start a heat call, and confirm a strong spark and prompt burner ignition.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace clicks/tries to ignite but won't light.
• Delayed ignition with a noticeable gas smell at light-off.
• Repeated ignition retries ending in lockout / no heat.
• Cracked ceramic, eroded tip, or heavy carbon on the electrode.
