OEM Carrier LP Gas Pressure Switch 6.5 in WC for Model PG8MAA024045AGJA
This is the OEM-specified LP gas pressure switch for the Carrier PG8MAA024045AGJA packaged gas/electric unit. The pressure switch proves inducer draft motor operation before allowing ignition — it is a critical safety device in the ignition sequence. When it fails or sticks open, the furnace will attempt to light, fail to prove draft pressure, and lock out, leaving the unit with no heat. Symptoms include a blinking fault code for "pressure switch open," a furnace that clicks but won't ignite, or a unit stuck before the trial-for-ignition stage.
