ICP Tempstar Heil Ignitor Electrode for RGS210SFEA0AAAA — OEM 1179966 | Ships Today

Overview

This is a genuine OEM ignitor electrode, part number 1179966, for ICP, Tempstar, and Heil gas furnaces including the RGS210SFEA0AAAA. The ignition electrode delivers the spark (and/or flame-sensing path) at the burner that lights the gas on a call for heat. When the electrode cracks, the tip erodes, the gap drifts out of spec, or the ceramic insulator carbons over, the furnace will fail to light, lock out after several trial-for-ignition attempts, or short-cycle on ignition faults. Because the electrode sits directly in the burner flame, it is a normal wear item and a frequent no-heat callback. Installing a fresh OEM electrode restores a reliable, correctly-gapped ignition source.

Specifications

Compatibility

Designed for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS210SFEA0AAAA and related RGS-series gas furnaces that call out electrode part 1179966. Verify against your unit's burner assembly before ordering.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Shut off the gas, disconnect power at the switch and breaker, and verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the furnace burner/service panel.
3. Document — Photograph the electrode position, wire routing, and gap before removal.
4. Remove — Disconnect the ignition lead, unscrew the electrode bracket, and withdraw the old electrode from the burner.
5. Install — Mount the new electrode, confirm correct gap and flame alignment, and reconnect the ignition lead.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, then watch a full ignition sequence to confirm a clean light-off.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Furnace won't light on a call for heat
• Repeated ignition lockouts after several attempts
• Cracked ceramic insulator or eroded electrode tip
• Short-cycling tied to ignition or flame-sense faults
