ICP Igniter Electrode for RGS244HDEA0AAAA — OEM Direct-Spark Ignitor | Ships Today

Overview

This is the OEM ignitor electrode (part number 1179966) for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS244HDEA0AAAA gas furnace. The electrode delivers the high-voltage spark that lights the burner gas on each heating cycle and, on many designs, also serves as the flame-sensing rod that proves flame to the control board. A worn, cracked, or carbon-fouled electrode causes ignition lockouts, delayed or rough lights, and repeated retries before the furnace shuts down on a flame fault. Because the electrode sits directly in the burner flame, the ceramic insulator and metal rod degrade over time and are a routine wear replacement on a no-heat or short-cycling call.

Specifications

Compatibility

Designed for the ICP-built RGS244HDEA0AAAA gas furnace sold under the ICP, Tempstar, Heil, and Comfortmaker brands. Match the part number on the existing electrode and confirm the bracket and rod geometry before ordering.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the switch and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the burner compartment door.
3. Document — Photograph the electrode position, gap, and ignition cable routing before removal.
4. Remove — Unplug the high-voltage lead, remove the mounting screws, and lift out the old electrode.
5. Install — Mount the new electrode, set the spark gap per the furnace spec, and reconnect the lead.
6. Test — Restore power, call for heat, and confirm a strong spark, clean light, and stable flame proof.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace locks out on ignition failure after several retries
• Delayed, rough, or noisy burner light-off
• Cracked ceramic insulator or carbon-fouled electrode tip
• Intermittent flame-sense faults and short-cycling
