OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor (48GS400168) for Model PY2PEB042090AB

This is the genuine OEM Carrier spark electrode ignitor assembly, factory part number 48GS400168, engineered as the direct replacement for the Carrier PY2PEB042090AB packaged unit. The spark electrode ignitor is a critical component in the gas ignition sequence — it generates the high-voltage spark that ignites the burners on each heating cycle. When the ignitor fails, the control board will attempt ignition, detect no flame, and lock out the system, leaving you with no heat and a blinking fault code.

  • Part Number & Type: OEM Carrier 48GS400168 | Spark Electrode Ignitor / Ignitor Assembly | Factory Authorized Part — exact OEM fit and performance for the PY2PEB042090AB
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier Factory Authorized Part, not an aftermarket substitute. OEM electrodes maintain factory-spec gap geometry and ceramic insulation integrity, preventing premature cracking, misfires, and repeated nuisance lockouts common with non-OEM alternatives.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Straightforward replacement on most Carrier packaged units. Tools needed: Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter for post-install verification. Always shut off power and gas supply before servicing. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting.
  • Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse — get your system back up and running fast.

Compatibility: Direct OEM replacement for Carrier model PY2PEB042090AB packaged gas/electric unit. Verify your unit's data plate and existing part number before ordering to ensure correct fitment. Cross-references OEM part PSE-CE15. Need help confirming compatibility? Our HVAC parts specialists verify fitment before you order — contact us today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Igniter fit my Carrier PY2PEB042090AB?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM igniter for the Carrier PY2PEB042090AB. It is a direct drop-in replacement that fits without modification. Always verify the model number on your equipment nameplate before ordering.
How do I replace the igniter on my Carrier PY2PEB042090AB?
Difficulty: Medium (20–30 min)
Step 1: Turn off power and gas. Step 2: Open furnace panel. Step 3: Locate igniter near burners. Step 4: Disconnect two-wire plug. Step 5: Remove mounting screw. Step 6: Install new igniter — do NOT touch element with fingers. Step 7: Reconnect, close panel, restore power/gas.
My furnace won’t ignite. What part is bad?
Furnace won’t ignite after the draft inducer runs = failed igniter. The hot surface igniter should glow bright orange within 60 seconds. No glow = cracked/burned out. Weak glow = degrading. Average lifespan: 3–7 years. Replacement: $15–$40 DIY.
Is this igniter compatible with Bryant or Payne too?
Many Carrier parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.
Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my Carrier igniter?
OEM recommended for reliability and warranty compatibility. OEM parts match exact factory specifications for proper fit, performance, and safety. While aftermarket alternatives cost less upfront, the risk of improper fit and reduced lifespan usually makes OEM the better value long-term.
How fast does National HVAC Parts ship?
