Overview

This is the genuine OEM igniter electrode (part number 1179966) for the ICP Tempstar/Heil RGS244HSEA0AAAA gas furnace. The igniter electrode initiates the burner flame at the start of every heat cycle; over time the ceramic insulator cracks, the electrode tip erodes, or carbon buildup prevents a reliable spark or surface ignition. A failed igniter is one of the most common no-heat causes, typically showing as an ignition lockout after several failed lightoff attempts. Genuine OEM construction ensures the correct gap, position, and high-temperature rating.
