OEM Carrier Furnace Hot Surface Igniter for PG95SAS60100CBAA

Every heat cycle on your Carrier PG95SAS60100CBAA furnace begins with the hot surface igniter. When the control board calls for heat and the draft is proven, this element draws current and glows to around 2,500F, lighting the burner gas the instant the valve opens. Hot surface igniters are brittle by nature, and over hundreds of thermal cycles they develop hairline cracks or carbon buildup that break the circuit. The telltale signs are a furnace that clicks and an inducer that hums but no burner flame, cold air from the vents, and repeated failed-ignition lockouts — frequently shown as a three-flash code at the control board. Specs: This is a 120V hot surface igniter. Original-equipment silicon nitride elements resist thermal shock and physical impact far better than legacy silicon carbide, and they carry a tighter cold-resistance window — generally 11 to 19 ohms for nitride against 40 to 75 ohms for carbide. With the power off, an ohm reading well outside that band, or an open circuit, tells you the element has failed. The bracket and plug are keyed to fit the PG95SAS burner assembly directly. OEM vs Generic: Igniters are intolerant of the wrong resistance. A generic element outside the design window may not reach full glow within the board's fixed ignition-trial timing, so the gas valve closes before the burners light and the furnace locks out — even with a brand-new part installed. OEM nitride igniters also outlast the cheap carbide replacements that crack within a season. Install: Difficulty 2 out of 5. Tools: 1/4-inch nut driver and a multimeter. SAFETY: turn off the gas and the furnace breaker first, and hold the new igniter only by its ceramic base — skin oils on the silicon nitride tip create hot spots that shorten its service life.

Compatibility

This part is compatible with Carrier model PG95SAS60100CBAA. Always verify the part number against your unit's data plate before ordering.

Why Choose OEM?

OEM parts are manufactured to the exact factory specifications for your unit. Generic aftermarket alternatives may fit physically but often use lower-rated components that reduce equipment life and void manufacturer warranties. When the cost difference between OEM and generic is $10-30, the OEM part is always the smarter investment on a system worth $5,000-$15,000.

Shipping & Returns

Same-day shipping on orders before 3 PM CST. Standard delivery 2-5 business days, express options available at checkout. 30-day hassle-free returns on uninstalled parts — free return shipping included. 1-year OEM factory warranty coverage.
