ICP Ignitor Electrode for RGS213HFAA0AAAA — Direct Spark Ignition | Ships Today

Overview

This genuine OEM ignitor electrode (part 1179966) is the ignition component for ICP, Heil, and Tempstar gas furnaces. The electrode generates the high-voltage spark that lights the burner gas on a call for heat, and on many systems the same or a paired electrode also senses flame to confirm a successful light. When the electrode tip erodes, cracks its ceramic insulator, or builds up oxide and soot, you'll see failed or delayed ignition, repeated ignition lockouts after several tries, short cycling on flame loss, or no heat at all even though the gas valve is opening. A fresh electrode with the correct gap restores fast, dependable lights.

Specifications

Compatibility

Factory ignition electrode for ICP, Heil, Comfortmaker, and Tempstar gas furnaces including the RGS213HFAA0AAAA. Confirm the bracket shape and electrode gap match your existing part before installation.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Shut off the gas supply, disconnect electrical power, and verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the burner-compartment service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the electrode position, wire, and gap before removal.
4. Remove — Disconnect the ignition wire and unscrew the electrode bracket from the burner assembly.
5. Install — Mount the new electrode, set it to the specified spark gap, and reconnect the ignition lead; do not touch the ceramic with bare oily fingers.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, then run a heat cycle to confirm a fast, reliable light.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace fails to ignite or ignites only after several tries.
• Repeated ignition lockouts on a heat call.
• Cracked ceramic insulator or eroded electrode tip.
• Short cycling caused by lost or weak flame signal.
