ICP Igniter Electrode for RGS210HRAA0AAAA — Direct Ignition | Ships Today

Overview

This is a genuine OEM igniter electrode (part 1179966) for ICP, Tempstar, and Heil gas furnaces. The electrode delivers the high-voltage spark or ignition point that lights the burner gas at the start of each heat cycle. Positioned at the burner, it must maintain the correct gap and a clean, uncracked ceramic insulator to fire reliably. Over time the electrode tip erodes, the porcelain insulator can crack from repeated thermal cycling, and carbon buildup can foul the gap — any of which leads to delayed ignition, repeated ignition lockouts, or a furnace that will not light at all. Replacing a worn igniter electrode restores fast, consistent burner ignition and eliminates the frustrating short-cycling and no-heat calls that a degraded electrode causes.

Specifications

Compatibility

Designed for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS210HRAA0AAAA gas furnace and other ICP-family models that use the 1179966 igniter electrode. Confirm the part number against your existing electrode before ordering.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Shut off gas and disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the burner-compartment service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the electrode position, gap, and wiring before removal.
4. Remove — Disconnect the ignition lead and unscrew the electrode from the burner assembly.
5. Install — Mount the new electrode, set it to the manufacturer's gap, and reconnect the ignition lead.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, then run a heat call and confirm prompt, reliable burner ignition.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Repeated ignition lockouts or no-light condition
• Delayed ignition with a small "poof" at startup
• Cracked porcelain insulator or eroded electrode tip
• Carbon fouling across the spark gap
