ICP Igniter Electrode for RGS244HFAA0AAAA — Direct Spark | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM igniter electrode, part number 1179966, ignites the burners on your ICP/Heil/Tempstar RGS244HFAA0AAAA gas furnace. Positioned at the burner assembly, the electrode delivers the high-voltage spark that lights the gas at the start of every heat cycle and, on many designs, also serves the flame-sensing path that proves the burner stayed lit. Over time the electrode's tip erodes, cracks, or fouls with oxide, leading to weak or no spark, repeated ignition lockouts, or a furnace that lights and then drops out on a false flame-loss fault. Because the electrode gap and ceramic insulator are precisely set for this furnace, the genuine OEM part ensures correct spark positioning and reliable first-try ignition every cycle.

Compatibility

Direct OEM replacement for the ICP/Heil/Tempstar/Comfortmaker RGS244HFAA0AAAA gas furnace. Verify the electrode bracket and ceramic shape against your existing part before installing.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the switch and breaker, shut off the gas, and verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the furnace burner-compartment 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 bracket.
5. Install — Mount the new electrode, confirm the spark gap matches the original, and reconnect the lead.
6. Test — Restore gas and power and run a heat cycle; confirm a strong spark and clean, immediate burner ignition.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Weak, intermittent, or no spark at the burners
• Repeated ignition lockouts or failed first-try ignition
• Furnace lights then shuts down on a flame-loss fault
• Cracked ceramic insulator or eroded/corroded electrode tip
