OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Hot Surface Igniter for Model PY1PEB036060AAAA

This is the factory-specified OEM spark electrode ignitor (part #48GS400168) for the Carrier PY1PEB036060AAAA packaged unit. The hot surface igniter is the first critical component in the ignition sequence — it heats to extreme temperatures to ignite the gas burner on each heating call. When the igniter fails or cracks, the control board will attempt ignition, detect no flame, and lock out the unit, leaving you with no heat. Common symptoms include the inducer motor running normally but the burners never lighting, followed by a lockout fault code on the control board.

• OEM vs Generic: This OEM igniter is manufactured to exact Carrier factory tolerances for element temperature, warm-up time, and connector fit. Generic igniters can vary in warm-up timing and geometry, potentially causing nuisance lockouts or premature failure.
