ICP Igniter Electrode for RGS213SFEA0AAAA — Furnace Ignition | Ships Today

Overview

This is a genuine OEM igniter electrode (part #1179966) for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS213SFEA0AAAA gas furnace. The igniter electrode is responsible for lighting the burner flame at the start of every heat cycle — without a working igniter, the furnace control board locks out and no heat is produced. The electrode tip degrades over time from repeated thermal cycling, cracking, or oxidation, which is why it is one of the most frequently replaced wear parts in a gas furnace. Common failure symptoms include no ignition on a heat call, a furnace that clicks and tries to light but fails, repeated lockouts, or a visible crack or carbon buildup on the igniter tip.

Specifications

Compatibility

Direct OEM replacement for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS213SFEA0AAAA and related ICP-family gas furnaces using the same ignition electrode assembly. Verify the mounting bracket and connector match your existing part before installing.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Shut off the furnace power switch and gas supply, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the furnace burner-compartment door.
3. Document — Photograph the igniter's wire routing and mounting position.
4. Remove — Disconnect the igniter wire harness and remove the mounting screw; handle the old igniter only by its ceramic base.
5. Install — Mount the new igniter without touching the element tip with bare fingers, then reconnect the harness.
6. Test — Restore power and gas, call for heat, and confirm a clean ignition and steady flame.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• No ignition or no heat on a thermostat call
• Furnace attempts to light then locks out
• Visible crack or carbon buildup on the igniter tip
• Repeated ignition retries before the burner lights
