OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor Assembly 48GS400168 for Model PY1PEB036060ABAA

This is the factory OEM spark electrode ignitor assembly (part #48GS400168) designed as the direct replacement for the Carrier PY1PEB036060ABAA packaged gas unit. The ignitor assembly generates the high-voltage spark that ignites the gas burner at the start of each heating cycle. When this 2-rod electrode assembly fails or cracks, the unit will attempt ignition, fail to light, and enter a safety lockout — leaving you with a system that runs the inducer but produces no heat.

• Specs: 2-rod spark electrode assembly | High-voltage ignitor/electrode design | OEM part #48GS400168 | Lightweight at approx. 0.07 lbs | Compact form factor (approx. 3.8" × 1.4" × 4.9")
• OEM vs Generic: This is the genuine Carrier factory-authorized ignitor assembly, built to exact rod spacing and ceramic insulator tolerances. Generic electrodes often suffer from improper gap geometry, leading to misfires, repeated lockouts, and premature ceramic cracking.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Turn off gas and power before servicing. Tools needed: 1/4" hex driver, needle-nose pliers, and a flashlight. Disconnect the high-voltage ignitor wire, remove the mounting screws, swap the electrode assembly, and re-gap if needed. Always inspect the ignitor cable for cracks while the burner compartment is open.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. In-stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Engineered for the Carrier PY1PEB036060ABAA packaged gas unit. Verify your existing part number printed on the electrode assembly or burner bracket before ordering. If you have questions about fitment, our HVAC parts specialists are available to confirm compatibility before you buy — no guesswork required.
