OEM Carrier Hot Surface Igniter (LH33ZG001) for Model PG8MEA024045AAJA
This OEM hot surface igniter is the factory-specified replacement part for the Carrier PG8MEA024045AAJA packaged gas unit. During a call for heat, the igniter heats to over 2,000°F within seconds to ignite the gas burner. When it fails — due to cracks, contamination, or age-related degradation — the control board detects a failed ignition attempt and triggers a lockout, leaving you with no heat. Common symptoms include a furnace that attempts to start, cycles through the ignition sequence, then shuts off and flashes a fault code.
