OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor 48GS400168 for Model PY1PPB036060NBAA

This is the genuine OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor (part# 48GS400168), the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PY1PPB036060NBAA packaged gas/electric unit. The spark electrode ignitor initiates combustion by generating a high-voltage spark across a precise electrode gap to light the burners during each heating cycle. When this component fails, the control board will attempt ignition, fail to detect a flame, and lock out — leaving you with a unit that blows cold air or displays a fault code after 2–3 ignition tries.

• Part Specs: 2-rod spark electrode ignitor assembly | Factory Authorized Parts (FAP) | Direct OEM replacement for Carrier part# 48GS400168 | Designed specifically for 48GS-series gas pack units
• OEM vs Generic: OEM electrodes maintain the factory-set spark gap and ceramic insulator rating, ensuring consistent spark energy and preventing pre-ignition misfires. Generic igniters often have wider tolerances that lead to hard starts and premature control board stress.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Turn off gas and electrical supply before beginning. Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, flat-head screwdriver. Photograph wire connections before removal. The electrode assembly mounts to the burner box with two screws — alignment to the burner port is critical for reliable ignition.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In stock — ships same business day from our warehouse.
