ICP Ignitor Electrode for RGS213HSAA0AAAA — OEM 1179966 | Ships Today

Overview

Genuine OEM ignitor electrode, ICP part number 1179966, for ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS-series gas furnaces. The ignitor electrode sits at the burner and provides the ignition point that lights the gas at the start of each heating cycle. A cracked ceramic insulator, eroded electrode tip, or incorrect gap leads to ignition failure, repeated lockouts, delayed ignition, or rough light-off. Replacing a worn electrode restores fast, reliable burner ignition. (Note: this is an ignition electrode, not a hot-surface igniter — confirm your furnace's ignition type before ordering.)

2. Access — Remove the burner/blower service panel to reach the burner assembly.
3. Document — Photograph the electrode position, gap, and wire routing before removal.
4. Remove — Disconnect the ignition lead and unscrew the old electrode from the burner bracket.
5. Install — Mount the new electrode, maintaining the correct gap, and reconnect the ignition lead.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, call for heat, and confirm clean ignition on the first attempt.

Signs You Need a Replacement
