OEM Carrier Silicon Nitride Hot Surface Igniter for PG92SCS60080CAAA

The hot surface igniter is the heart of ignition in your Carrier PG92SCS60080CAAA gas furnace. On every heat call, the control board sends 120V to this igniter, which glows red-hot to ignite the burner gas. When it fails, the most common symptom is no heat: the inducer runs, you hear the gas valve click, but the burners never light and the furnace locks out after three or four tries. Homeowners often report short-cycling, a clicking-then-silence pattern, or a cracked white element visible through the burner sight glass. This is a silicon nitride igniter — the modern, durable element Carrier specs for this furnace, far more shock- and thermal-cycle-resistant than older silicon carbide igniters. Cold resistance typically reads 40–75 ohms on a multimeter; an open (infinite) reading confirms a dead element. It is a direct OEM-fit replacement with the correct mounting bracket, gasket, and plug orientation. Why OEM matters here: generic silicon carbide igniters draw more current, run hotter, and crack from the repeated thermal cycling this two-stage furnace demands, often failing within a single season. A wrong-resistance aftermarket igniter may not reach ignition temperature, causing nuisance lockouts that mimic a bad gas valve or board. The OEM silicon nitride part matches the board's current profile exactly. Install difficulty: 2/5. Tools: 1/4" nut driver, multimeter for verification, and work gloves (never touch the element with bare fingers — skin oil creates hot spots that crack it). SAFETY: shut off the gas valve and kill the furnace breaker before servicing. Ships same business day from our stocked warehouse on orders placed before 3 PM CST. Backed by a 1-year OEM warranty and 30-day hassle-free returns on uninstalled parts.
