ICP Igniter Electrode for RGS210SSCA0AAAA — OEM Furnace Ignitor | Ships Today

Overview

This genuine OEM igniter electrode, ICP part number 1179966, is the ignition component that starts combustion in ICP, Heil, and Tempstar gas furnaces. On a call for heat, the control board powers the igniter so it can light the burner gas. Igniters are a consumable wear item — repeated heating and cooling cycles eventually crack, erode, or open the element. A bad igniter is the most common reason a furnace draws in for ignition (inducer runs, gas valve clicks) but never lights, leaving the home without heat. Replacing the igniter restores reliable startup and prevents repeated lockouts.

Specifications

Compatibility

Factory replacement for ICP-family gas furnaces including model RGS210SSCA0AAAA, and comparable Heil, Tempstar, Comfortmaker, and Arcoaire furnaces using the same ignition assembly. Match part number 1179966 to your existing igniter before ordering, and handle the new igniter only by its ceramic base.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Shut off gas and disconnect power, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter position, bracket, and wiring.
4. Remove — Disconnect the igniter plug and unscrew the old electrode, taking care not to touch the new element with bare fingers.
5. Install — Mount the new igniter in the same position and reconnect the plug.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, run a heat cycle, and confirm the burner lights promptly and stays lit.

Signs You Need a Replacement
