OEM Carrier Hot Surface Igniter Assembly for PY1RPA060115AAWA

The hot surface igniter is what lights the burners on your Carrier PY1RPA060115AAWA gas furnace. On each call for heat, the control board sends voltage to the igniter, which glows white-hot and ignites the gas as the valve opens. Igniters are the single most common furnace failure point, and the symptoms are classic: no heat, the furnace cycles through its sequence and clicks but never lights, the igniter glows but the burners don't catch, or repeated ignition lockouts after three failed tries. A cracked or pitted ceramic element is often visible on inspection. Igniters come in two materials: older silicon carbide elements, which are fragile and typically read 40–90 ohms cold, and newer silicon nitride elements, which are far more durable and read in the low double digits. Most are rated for 80V or 120V operation. Check resistance with a multimeter — an open (infinite) reading means it's failed. Match the OEM element style and mounting bracket to your furnace. Why OEM matters: a genuine igniter is matched to the exact resistance and warm-up timing the board expects. Generic igniters with the wrong resistance may not glow hot enough to reliably light gas, causing delayed ignition "poof" events, or burn out in a fraction of the rated cycles. Installation difficulty: 2 of 5. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver and clean gloves. SAFETY: shut off both the gas supply and the electrical power before servicing, and NEVER touch the ceramic element with bare fingers — skin oils create hot spots that cause premature failure.
