OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Igniter 48GS400168 for Model PY1PJB048130ABAA

This is the factory-authorized OEM spark electrode igniter assembly (part #48GS400168) for the Carrier PY1PJB048130ABAA packaged gas unit. The igniter is the first critical component in every heating cycle — when the thermostat calls for heat, the igniter fires to light the burner. When it fails, the control board detects no flame and triggers an ignition lockout fault, leaving you with a system that attempts to start, fails, and shuts down entirely. Common symptoms include the unit cycling on and off without producing heat, a red blinking fault code on the control board, or a complete no-heat condition.
