OEM Carrier Hot Surface Igniter LH33ZG001 for Model PG96VAT48080BBAA

This is the genuine OEM hot surface igniter for the Carrier PG96VAT48080BBAA 96% AFUE gas furnace. The igniter is the first component activated during every heating cycle — when the control board calls for heat, 120V is applied to the igniter element, which glows to ignite the gas burner. When it fails, the furnace will attempt ignition, fail to light the burner, and enter a safety lockout — leaving you with no heat. Common failure symptoms include a hard lockout after 3 ignition attempts, fault codes indicating ignition failure, or a visibly cracked or broken element upon inspection.
