What igniter fits my ICP furnace?

The correct replacement for ICP model RGS240HFEA0AAAA — Direct Spark Ignitor | Ships Today is this exact part. It is the factory-specified replacement with exact OEM specifications. Using a part with different specifications can cause equipment damage or void your warranty. You can verify this by checking the data plate on your ICP equipment which lists the model number RGS240HFEA0AAAA — Direct Spark Ignitor | Ships Today.

My furnace will not ignite. What part is bad?

A furnace that will not ignite after the draft inducer runs typically has a failed igniter. The hot surface igniter should glow bright orange within 60 seconds. If it does not glow at all, it is cracked or burned out. If it glows weakly, it is degrading and should be replaced preventively. Average lifespan: 3 to 7 years.

Overview

This OEM igniter electrode (part 1179966) generates the high-voltage spark that lights the burner on the ICP/Heil/Tempstar RGS240HFEA0AAAA gas furnace. On a call for heat the ignition control sends voltage to the electrode, which arcs across its gap to ignite the gas as it reaches the burner. The same electrode (or a paired sensing electrode) confirms a flame is present so the control keeps the gas valve open. Because the electrode tip sits directly in the burner flame, the ceramic insulator and metal rod degrade over time from heat cycling, cracking, carbon buildup, and erosion of the gap. A worn electrode produces weak or no spark, causing failed ignition, delayed ignition with a rollout puff, or short-cycling lockouts. Maintaining the correct gap and a clean, intact insulator is essential for reliable light-off.

Compatibility

Designed for the ICP/Heil/Tempstar RGS240HFEA0AAAA furnace and matching RGS240 platform burners that use a direct-spark ignition system. Verify the bracket and rod geometry against your existing electrode before installing.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Shut off the gas, disconnect power, and verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
Access — Remove the burner-compartment service panel.
Document — Photograph the electrode position, gap, and lead routing before removal.
Remove — Disconnect the ignition lead and unscrew the electrode bracket from the burner assembly.
Install — Mount the new electrode, set the spark gap per spec, and reconnect the ignition lead per your photo.
Test — Restore gas and power, then run a heat cycle to confirm a strong spark and clean burner light-off.

Signs You Need a Replacement

Weak, intermittent, or no spark at the burner.
Cracked or carbon-fouled ceramic insulator.
Furnace ignition lockout after repeated failed light attempts.
Delayed ignition with a noticeable puff or rollout at start-up.

How do I replace the igniter on my ICP RGS240HFEA0AAAA — Direct Spark Ignitor | Ships Today?

Difficulty: Medium (20–30 min)
Step 1: Turn off power and gas. Step 2: Open furnace panel. Step 3: Locate igniter near burners. Step 4: Disconnect two-wire plug. Step 5: Remove mounting screw. Step 6: Install new igniter — do NOT touch element with fingers. Step 7: Reconnect, close panel, restore power/gas.

My furnace won’t ignite. What part is bad?

Furnace won’t ignite after the draft inducer runs = failed igniter. The hot surface igniter should glow bright orange within 60 seconds. No glow = cracked/burned out. Weak glow = degrading. Average lifespan: 3–7 years. Replacement: $15–$40 DIY.

Is this igniter compatible with Bryant or Payne too?

Many ICP parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.

Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my ICP igniter?

OEM recommended for reliability and warranty compatibility. OEM parts match exact factory specifications for proper fit, performance, and safety. While aftermarket alternatives cost less upfront, the risk of improper fit and reduced lifespan usually makes OEM the better value long-term.
