OEM Carrier Hot Surface Spark Electrode Ignitor for Model PY2PEB048130AA

This is the factory OEM spark electrode ignitor (part number 48GS400168), the exact replacement specified by Carrier for the PY2PEB048130AA packaged unit. The ignitor is the critical first step in every heating cycle — it generates the high-temperature surface or spark needed to ignite the gas burner. When it fails, the control board will attempt ignition, detect no flame, and lock out the system, leaving you with a no-heat call. Common symptoms include the system going through the ignition sequence but never firing, repeated lockout fault codes, or a visibly cracked or broken ignitor element.

• Specs: OEM Part Number 48GS400168 | Type: Spark Electrode Ignitor | Factory-matched fit, form, and function for Carrier PY2PEB048130AA packaged units | No modifications required
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier OEM ignitor built to exact factory specifications. Aftermarket igniters often differ in element composition, tip geometry, or lead length — causing inconsistent ignition, premature failure, or control board faults. OEM is always the safe choice.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Shut off gas and electrical power at the disconnect before beginning. Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, needle-nose pliers. Handle the ignitor element with care — skin oils from bare hands can cause premature cracking under heat. Photograph existing wiring and mounting orientation before removal.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. In-stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.
