OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor Assembly 48GS400168 for Model PY1PPB048115ABAA
This is the genuine OEM spark electrode ignitor assembly (part number 48GS400168), factory-specified for the Carrier PY1PPB048115ABAA packaged gas unit. The ignitor assembly is a dual-rod spark electrode that generates the high-voltage arc required to light the burner on each call for heat. When this component fails, the control board will attempt ignition, detect no flame, and lock out the unit — leaving you with a system that runs the inducer but produces no heat, often flashing a fault code on the control board.

OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier Factory Authorized Part, ensuring exact electrode gap spacing, ceramic insulator quality, and bracket fitment. Generic igniters frequently have inconsistent gap tolerances that cause intermittent ignition failures and shortened service life.

Install difficulty: 2/5 — Turn off gas supply and 24V/120V power before starting. Tools needed: 1/4" or 5/16" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter to verify high-voltage ignitor cable continuity. Photograph bracket orientation and wire routing before removal. Ceramic insulators are fragile — handle with care and avoid touching electrode tips.
