ICP Ignitor Electrode for RGS210SECA0AAAA — Direct-Spark Ignition | Ships Today

Overview

This is a genuine OEM ignitor electrode, ICP part number 1179966, for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS210 gas furnace. The electrode delivers the high-voltage spark at the burner that lights the gas on each heat cycle and, in many designs, also senses the resulting flame to confirm ignition. Because it sits directly in the burner flame path, the electrode and its porcelain insulator endure repeated thermal stress and eventually crack, foul with oxide, or lose their precise spark gap. When that happens the furnace fails to light, locks out after several trial-for-ignition attempts, short-cycles, or throws an ignition-failure fault. Replacing the electrode with the correct OEM part restores a clean, properly gapped spark and reliable light-off.

Specifications

Compatibility

Designed for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS210SECA0AAAA and related RGS210-series gas furnaces that use the 1179966 ignitor electrode. Match the electrode body, mounting bracket, and gap against your original before ordering.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Shut off gas and power, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the burner-compartment service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the electrode position, wire routing, and gap relative to the burner.
4. Remove — Disconnect the high-voltage lead and unscrew the electrode from the burner assembly.
5. Install — Mount the new electrode, confirm the spark gap matches spec, and reconnect the lead.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, start a heat call, and watch for a strong spark and clean burner light-off.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace clicks but burners fail to light
• Ignition lockout after repeated trial attempts
• Cracked porcelain insulator or visible carbon fouling
• Weak, erratic, or no spark at the electrode tip
