Overview
This OEM ignitor electrode (part number 1179966) is the direct spark ignition component for the ICP Tempstar Heil RGS213LTCA0AAAA gas furnace. The electrode generates the high-voltage spark that lights the burner gas at the start of every heat cycle and, on many configurations, also serves as the flame-sensing rod that confirms ignition to the control board. A worn or cracked electrode is one of the most common causes of intermittent no-heat calls. Typical failure symptoms include the furnace clicking but failing to light, short-cycling on flame loss, repeated ignition lockouts, or a furnace that ignites only after several attempts. Replacing the electrode with a genuine OEM part restores reliable, on-spec spark gap and flame rectification.

Compatibility
Engineered as the factory replacement for the ICP Tempstar Heil RGS213LTCA0AAAA gas furnace. It also fits numerous related RGS-series furnaces built on the same burner and ignition platform across the ICP family of brands (Tempstar, Heil, Comfortmaker, Arcoaire). Always verify your part number against the unit before ordering.
Installation Guide
- Safety First — Disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker, shut off the gas, and verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
- Access — Remove the burner/control access panel.
- Document — Photograph the electrode wire routing and the spark/sense gap position before disconnecting.
- Remove — Disconnect the high-voltage lead, remove the mounting screw, and lift the old electrode clear of the burner assembly.
- Install — Mount the new electrode, confirm the spark gap aligns with the burner per the photo, and reconnect the ignition lead.
- Test — Restore gas and power, then verify clean ignition and stable flame sensing through a full heat cycle.
Signs You Need a Replacement
- Furnace clicks/sparks but the burner fails to light.
- Repeated ignition lockouts or no-heat calls.
- Cracked ceramic insulator or visibly eroded electrode tip.
- Flame loss / short-cycling shortly after ignition.
