OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor Assembly 50HJ403022 for Model PY1RJA048115AAWA
This is the genuine OEM Carrier spark electrode ignitor assembly (part #50HJ403022) — the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PY1RJA048115AAWA packaged gas/electric unit. The ignitor assembly initiates combustion each heating cycle by generating the spark that lights the burner. When this component fails, the furnace will attempt ignition, fail to establish flame, and enter a safety lockout — leaving you with no heat. Common symptoms include the unit starting its ignition sequence but shutting down after 30–90 seconds, or a continuous no-heat fault code on the control board.
