OEM Carrier Hot Surface Igniter for PG95XAT60100CAAA Furnace

The hot surface igniter is the element that glows white-hot to light the gas at the burners on each heat call. The board energizes it, it reaches ignition temperature, the gas valve opens, and the burners light. When the igniter cracks or ages out, it stops glowing hot enough — or at all — so you get cold air from the registers, the furnace tries and fails to ignite, you may hear the gas valve click with no flame, and after a few attempts the board locks out and leaves you with no heat. A visibly cracked element or one that no longer glows is the classic symptom. This is a genuine Carrier hot surface igniter sized for the PG95XAT60100CAAA. Igniters are either silicon carbide (the traditional brittle, lower-cost element) or the more durable silicon nitride; this part matches the factory element type and the correct cold resistance — typically in the tens-of-ohms range — so it draws the right current on 120V and reaches roughly 2,000°F reliably. Why OEM matters here: an igniter with the wrong resistance simply won't glow hot enough to light gas dependably, giving slow or failed ignition and premature lockouts. Cheap aftermarket carbide elements are also notoriously brittle and short-lived, so they crack within a season. Install difficulty: 2 of 5. Tools: 1/4" nut driver and a multimeter to check resistance before and after. #1 safety warning: shut off the gas and kill power at the breaker first, and never touch the ceramic element with bare fingers — skin oils create hot spots that crack it.

Why Choose OEM?
