ICP Igniter Electrode for RGS213SDCA0AAAA — Direct-Fit OEM | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM igniter electrode (Part No. 1179966) provides the ignition source for the ICP RGS213SDCA0AAAA gas furnace. On each heat call the control board energizes the igniter, which heats to the temperature needed to light the burners as the gas valve opens. The igniter is the single most frequently replaced ignition component because the element is fragile and degrades with every heating cycle. A cracked or worn-out igniter is the leading cause of "no heat" complaints — the inducer and gas valve sequence correctly, but the burners never light and the furnace locks out.

Specifications

Compatibility

Direct-fit replacement for the ICP, Tempstar, Heil, and Comfortmaker RGS213SDCA0AAAA furnace. Use the OEM part number to confirm fitment, as ignition assemblies and mounting brackets vary by furnace platform and generation.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Shut off the gas supply and disconnect power at the furnace switch, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the burner-compartment door to expose the igniter near the burner assembly.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter position, bracket, and wire routing before disconnecting.
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 in the exact original position so it sits in the burner flame path, then reconnect the lead.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, start a heat call, and confirm the igniter glows and the burners light cleanly.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace runs the ignition sequence but burners never light
• Visible crack, blistering, or break in the igniter element
• Furnace locks out and shows an ignition-failure fault
• Intermittent heating that worsens over time
