OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor (48GS400168) for Model PY1PEB048130ABAA

This is the genuine OEM spark electrode ignitor assembly for the Carrier PY1PEB048130ABAA packaged gas unit. The ignitor is responsible for producing the spark or surface heat that ignites the gas burner on every call for heat. When it fails or degrades, the control board will attempt ignition, find no flame confirmation, and lock out the unit — leaving you with no heat and a fault code. Common symptoms include repeated ignition lockout, a visible crack or carbon tracking on the electrode, or a furnace that starts the inducer and opens the gas valve but never fires.
