ICP Igniter Electrode for RGS213HDEA0AAAA — Direct Spark Ignition | Ships Today

Overview

This genuine OEM igniter electrode (part 1179966) creates the high-voltage spark that lights the burner gas on ignition-equipped ICP / Heil / Tempstar furnaces. The electrode's ceramic insulator holds a precise spark gap; when the control board sends high voltage, an arc jumps the gap and ignites the gas as it reaches the burner. The same electrode tip often doubles as the flame-sensing path that confirms a successful light. Cracked ceramic, an eroded or carbon-fouled tip, or a drifted gap leads to no ignition, repeated ignition retries, or nuisance lockouts on a cold start. Because the electrode sits in direct flame, it is a normal wear item — replacing it restores fast, reliable lighting and dependable flame proving.

Specifications

Compatibility

Designed for the ICP / Heil / Tempstar / Comfortmaker RGS213HDEA0AAAA gas furnace and related RGS-series burner assemblies that use this electrode. Confirm the electrode bracket and gas-train layout match before installing.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Disconnect electrical power and shut off the gas supply, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the burner compartment door to expose the burner assembly.
3. Document — Photograph the electrode position, bracket, and ignition lead routing before removal.
4. Remove — Disconnect the high-voltage lead, unfasten the electrode bracket screw, and lift out the old electrode without touching the ceramic.
5. Install — Mount the new electrode, verify the spark gap matches spec, and reconnect the ignition lead per your photo.
6. Test — Restore gas and power and confirm a strong spark and clean burner light on a heat call.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace clicks/sparks but the burner won't light.
• Repeated ignition retries or hard lockout on cold starts.
• Cracked or chipped ceramic insulator.
• Carbon-fouled, eroded, or bent electrode tip.
