ICP Ignitor Electrode for RGS213HDCA0AAAA — Direct Ignition | Ships Today

Overview

This is a genuine OEM ignitor electrode, part number 1179966, for the ICP/Heil/Tempstar RGS213HDCA0AAAA gas furnace. The ignitor electrode delivers the high-voltage spark that lights the burners on each heating call and, in many designs, also serves as the flame-sensing element that proves ignition to the control board. The ceramic insulator and electrode tip degrade over time from repeated heat cycling and carbon buildup, leading to weak or no spark, delayed ignition with a noticeable 'whoomp,' or a furnace that locks out after several failed ignition attempts. Replacing a worn electrode restores reliable, on-demand ignition and prevents nuisance lockouts.

Specifications

Compatibility

Designed for the ICP RGS213HDCA0AAAA and shared across many ICP-family gas furnaces under the Heil, Tempstar, Comfortmaker, and Arcoaire brands. Match your existing electrode part number and bracket orientation before ordering.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Turn off gas and disconnect power; verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the burner compartment door.
3. Document — Photograph the electrode position, gap, and ignition wire routing.
4. Remove — Disconnect the ignition lead and unscrew the electrode from the burner assembly.
5. Install — Mount the new electrode, set it to the original gap and position, and reconnect the lead.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, call for heat, and confirm a strong spark with immediate burner ignition.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Weak, intermittent, or no spark at the burners
• Delayed ignition with a rollout or 'whoomp' on light-off
• Furnace locks out after repeated failed ignition attempts
• Cracked ceramic insulator or eroded electrode tip
