ICP Igniter Electrode for RGS210HRCA0AAAA — OEM Ignition | Ships Today

Overview

This genuine OEM igniter electrode, part number 1179966, ignites the burner gas on the ICP Tempstar Heil RGS210HRCA0AAAA furnace. On each heat call the control board energizes the igniter, which heats or sparks to light the main burners, then verifies flame through the sensing circuit. The igniter is a wear part: repeated thermal cycling makes the element brittle, cracked, or open over time. A failed igniter is the single most common reason a furnace runs the inducer and clicks but never lights, or short-cycles on ignition lockout. Replacing it with the correct OEM electrode restores fast, reliable, on-spec ignition and avoids the no-heat callbacks caused by aftermarket parts with the wrong resistance or geometry.

Specifications

Compatibility

Designed for ICP-family gas furnaces (Tempstar, Heil, Comfortmaker), including model RGS210HRCA0AAAA and related RGS210 series units. Confirm the mounting bracket and lead connector match your original igniter before installing.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Shut off gas and disconnect electrical power; verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter position and wiring before removal.
4. Remove — Unplug the igniter lead and remove the mounting screw(s); handle only by the ceramic base, never the element.
5. Install — Mount the new igniter without touching the fragile element, then reconnect the lead.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, run a heat cycle, and confirm the burners light promptly and hold flame.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace clicks and runs the inducer but never lights.
• Repeated ignition lockouts or short-cycling on startup.
• Visible cracks or a broken element on the old igniter.
• No glow or no spark during the ignition sequence.
