OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor 48GS400168 for Model PY2PPB030040AB

This is the OEM factory-specified spark electrode ignitor assembly (part number 48GS400168) for the Carrier PY2PPB030040AB packaged gas unit. The spark electrode ignitor generates the high-voltage spark that ignites the gas burner at the start of each heat cycle. When this component fails or becomes fouled with carbon deposits, the control board will attempt ignition, detect no flame, and lock out the unit — leaving you with no heat. Common failure symptoms include repeated ignition attempts with no burner light-off, intermittent heating, or a hard lockout fault code on the control board.

  • Part Number: 48GS400168 | Replaces PSE-CE15 | OEM Carrier Ignitor/Electrode Assembly — factory-matched fit and spark gap specification
  • OEM vs Generic: OEM electrodes are manufactured to exact Carrier spark gap and ceramic insulator tolerances. Off-brand electrodes frequently cause misfires, nuisance lockouts, and premature ceramic cracking that can damage the heat exchanger area.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Shut off gas supply and 24V control power before service. Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, needle-nose pliers. Photograph or label the ignition wire connection before removal. Ceramic tip is fragile — handle with care and avoid contact with oils from bare hands.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In-stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Direct OEM replacement for Carrier model PY2PPB030040AB packaged gas/electric units. Also used across a wide range of Carrier, Bryant, and Payne packaged rooftop equipment that utilizes the PSE-CE15 style electrode. Always verify your existing part number on the unit's wiring diagram or data plate before ordering. Have a compatibility question?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Igniter fit my Carrier PY2PPB030040AB?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM igniter for the Carrier PY2PPB030040AB. 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 PY2PPB030040AB?
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?
