OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor Assembly 48GS400168 for Model PY1PEB048090ABAA
This is the genuine OEM spark electrode ignitor assembly (part #48GS400168) factory-specified for the Carrier PY1PEB048090ABAA packaged gas/electric unit. The hot surface igniter is the first critical component in every heating cycle — it generates the high-temperature spark needed to ignite the gas burner. When the igniter fails or degrades, the control board will attempt ignition, detect no flame, and lock the system out, leaving you with a unit that blows cold air or shuts down entirely after 30–90 seconds of operation.

OEM vs Generic: This is the genuine Carrier factory part — not an aftermarket substitute. OEM electrode assemblies maintain exact rod-gap spacing and insulator material, which is critical for consistent spark timing and flame detection. Generic igniters risk incorrect gap tolerances, premature cracking, and repeated lockout callbacks.
