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 is a genuine OEM igniter electrode, part number 1179966, for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS303SFEA0AAAA gas furnace. The igniter electrode delivers the spark (or surface ignition source) at the burner that lights the gas at the start of every heat cycle. Because it is exposed to direct flame and thermal cycling, the electrode is a wear item — the tip erodes, cracks, or carbons over, and ignition becomes weak or intermittent. A worn electrode is one of the most common causes of a furnace that clicks but fails to light, locks out, or short-cycles on ignition failure. Installing a fresh OEM electrode restores reliable first-try ignition.

Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel.
Document — Photograph the electrode position, gap, and ignition lead routing before removal.
Remove — Disconnect the ignition lead and unfasten the electrode bracket from the burner assembly.
Install — Mount the new electrode at the factory position and gap, then reconnect the ignition lead per your photo. Handle the ceramic insulator by the bracket only.
Test — Restore gas and power, then run a heat cycle to confirm a strong, immediate ignition.

Signs You Need a Replacement

Furnace clicks or sparks but fails to light.
Repeated ignition lockouts or short-cycling on startup.
