ICP Igniter Electrode for RGS213SSCA0AAAA — Direct Spark | Ships Today

Overview

This is a genuine OEM igniter electrode (part #1179966) for ICP / Tempstar / Heil furnace model RGS213SSCA0AAAA. The igniter electrode generates the high-voltage spark that lights the burner gas at the start of each heating cycle and, depending on the configuration, also provides the flame-sensing rod that confirms a flame is present. A clean, properly gapped electrode is essential for reliable ignition — over time the tip oxidizes, the porcelain insulator cracks, or the gap drifts, all of which lead to ignition lockouts. Common symptoms include a furnace that clicks or sparks but won't light, repeated ignition retries, short-cycling on flame failure, or a unit that locks out after several attempts.

Specifications

Compatibility

Fits ICP, Tempstar, Heil, Comfortmaker and Arcoaire furnace model RGS213SSCA0AAAA and related units originally equipped with OEM part 1179966. Verify the bracket and porcelain configuration against your existing electrode before installing.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Shut off gas and electrical power, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the furnace burner/service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the electrode position, gap and wire routing before removing.
4. Remove — Disconnect the ignition lead and unscrew the electrode from the burner assembly.
5. Install — Mount the new electrode, confirm the spark gap matches spec, and reconnect the ignition wire per your photo.
6. Test — Restore gas and power and confirm a clean spark and stable flame on a heat call.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace clicks/sparks but burners won't light
• Repeated ignition retries or hard lockouts
• Cracked porcelain insulator or visibly eroded electrode tip
• Short-cycling on flame-failure faults
