OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor Assembly 48GS400168 for Model PY1PPB048130AAAA

This is the factory OEM spark electrode ignitor assembly (part# 48GS400168), the direct-fit replacement for the Carrier PY1PPB048130AAAA packaged gas unit. The ignitor assembly generates the high-voltage spark that lights the gas burner at the start of every heat cycle. When this component fails, the control board will attempt ignition, detect no flame, and lock the system out — typically resulting in a no-heat call, a blinking fault code, or repeated short cycling before lockout.

• Specs: 2-rod spark electrode assembly | Factory OEM part #48GS400168 | Exact ceramic insulator geometry and rod spacing for reliable arc | Direct plug-in harness connector — no splicing required
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier Factory Authorized Part, manufactured to the exact electrode gap and rod length specified for the PY1PPB048130AAAA burner assembly. Generic igniters often use non-matched rod spacing, resulting in weak or inconsistent spark and repeat nuisance lockouts.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Turn off all power and gas before servicing. Tools needed: ¼" nut driver, needle-nose pliers. Disconnect the high-voltage ignitor cable, remove the two mounting screws, swap the assembly, and reconnect. Always verify spark with a visual check before reassembling the burner compartment panel.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before the daily cutoff.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for the Carrier PY1PPB048130AAAA packaged gas/electric unit. Verify your existing ignitor is a 2-rod electrode assembly (not a silicon nitride hot surface igniter) before ordering. Cross-reference your unit's data plate and wiring diagram to confirm. Our fitment team is available to verify compatibility before you purchase — reach out before ordering if you have any questions.
