ICP Ignitor Electrode for RGS213HDAA0AAAA — OEM Direct Spark Igniter | Ships Today

Overview

This is a genuine OEM ignitor electrode, ICP part number 1179966, for your ICP, Heil, or Tempstar RGS213HDAA0AAAA gas furnace. The ignitor electrode is positioned at the burner and provides the spark that lights the gas at the start of each heating cycle; on many systems the same or a companion electrode also serves as the flame-sensing rod that confirms a flame is present. When the electrode is cracked, fouled with oxide, or out of position, the furnace fails to light, locks out after several trial-for-ignition attempts, or short-cycles on flame failure — leaving the home without heat. A clean, correctly gapped electrode is essential for fast, reliable ignition.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Shut off the gas supply, disconnect power at the switch and breaker, and verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the burner compartment door to expose the burner assembly and electrode.
3. Document — Photograph the electrode position, gap, and ignition lead routing before removal.
4. Remove — Disconnect the high-voltage lead and unscrew the electrode bracket from the burner.
5. Install — Mount the new electrode at the factory gap and orientation, then reconnect the ignition lead.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, call for heat, and confirm a clean spark, light-off, and steady flame sense.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace clicks but won't light, or locks out on ignition failure
• Cracked ceramic insulator or visible carbon buildup
• Weak, erratic, or no visible spark
• Short-cycling on flame-sense fault
