ICP Ignitor Electrode for RGS214HEAA0AAAA — OEM 1179966 | Ships Today

Overview

This OEM ignitor electrode (part 1179966) provides the ignition spark/sensing point that lights the burners in your ICP / Heil / Tempstar RGS214HEAA0AAAA gas furnace. The electrode delivers the high-voltage arc that ignites the gas at startup and works in concert with the control board's ignition sequence. A failed or fouled electrode is one of the most common no-heat causes: the furnace will go through its inducer and gas-valve sequence but fail to light, then lock out. Cracked ceramic insulators, a corroded or bent electrode tip, or carbon buildup all prevent a reliable arc.

Specifications

Compatibility

Direct OEM replacement for the ICP/Heil/Tempstar RGS214HEAA0AAAA and other International Comfort Products gas furnaces specifying electrode 1179966. Verify the bracket and mounting orientation against your existing electrode before installing.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Shut off the gas supply, disconnect electrical power, and verify zero voltage with a multimeter before working near the burner assembly.
2. Access — Remove the furnace burner/control access panel.
3. Document — Photograph the electrode position, gap, and wire routing before removal.
4. Remove — Disconnect the ignition lead and unscrew the electrode from the burner bracket. Inspect for cracks and carbon.
5. Install — Mount the new electrode in the same orientation, set the gap per the photo, and reconnect the ignition lead securely.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, then run a heat cycle and confirm prompt, reliable ignition with no lockout.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace runs the full ignition sequence but fails to light (no-heat lockout)
• Weak, intermittent, or delayed ignition
• Cracked ceramic insulator or visible carbon fouling on the tip
• Repeated flame-failure or ignition error codes
