Overview

This OEM igniter electrode (part number 1179966) is the ignition source for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS240LEFA0AAAA gas furnace. On each call for heat the control board energizes the igniter, which heats up and lights the burners as gas is introduced. The igniter is one of the most-replaced furnace parts because the heating element is brittle and degrades from thermal cycling, oil from bare fingers, or cracking. Typical failure symptoms include no ignition and no heat, the furnace locking out after several trial-for-ignition cycles, or a visible crack in the element so it never glows.
