OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Hot Surface Igniter for Model PY1PEB036060NBAA

This is the factory-specified OEM spark electrode igniter (part number 48GS400168) for the Carrier PY1PEB036060NBAA packaged heating and cooling unit. The hot surface igniter is the critical component that initiates combustion in the heat exchanger on every heating call. When the igniter fails, the control board will attempt ignition, detect no flame, and lock out the system — leaving you with a no-heat condition and often a fault code indicating a failed ignition trial.

• Specs: OEM part number 48GS400168 | Spark Electrode Igniter design | Factory-matched geometry and element rating for Carrier PY1PEB036060NBAA | Direct drop-in replacement with no modification required
• OEM vs Generic: This OEM igniter is manufactured to Carrier's exact material and dimensional tolerances, ensuring proper spark gap, mounting alignment, and element longevity. Aftermarket igniters frequently use lower-grade ceramic or silicon carbide blends that crack prematurely under thermal cycling, leading to repeat failures within a single season.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always shut off power and gas supply before beginning. Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, needle-nose pliers, work gloves (never touch the igniter element with bare hands — skin oils cause hot spots and premature cracking). Photograph all wiring and connector positions before disconnecting. Reinstall mounting screws snugly but do not overtighten the ceramic body.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Orders placed before cutoff ship the same business day from our climate-controlled warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for the Carrier PY1PEB036060NBAA packaged unit.
