OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor 48GS400168 for Model PY2PPB030060AA

This OEM spark electrode ignitor (part# 48GS400168) is the factory-authorized replacement for the Carrier PY2PPB030060AA packaged gas unit. The ignitor generates the high-voltage spark that lights the burner at the start of every heating cycle. When it fails, the unit will attempt ignition, fail to establish a flame, and go into lockout — leaving you with no heat and a fault code on the control board. Common symptoms include repeated ignition attempts with no burner light-off, a system that locks out after 3 tries, or visible cracking and carbon tracking on the electrode tip.

• Specs: Spark electrode ignitor assembly | High-voltage ignition | Factory-matched electrode gap | Designed for Carrier 48GS series packaged gas equipment
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine OEM Carrier Factory Authorized Part. OEM electrodes maintain the precise spark gap and ceramic insulator spec required for reliable ignition. Generic alternatives risk misfires, nuisance lockouts, and premature control board wear from repeated retry cycles.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Shut off gas supply and disconnect power before servicing. Tools needed: flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, 1/4" nut driver. Always verify burner orifice and manifold are clear before replacing the ignitor. Confirm ignitor wire harness connection is fully seated after installation.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before cutoff.

Compatibility: Engineered for the Carrier PY2PPB030060AA packaged gas unit. Verify your unit's existing ignitor style (spark electrode vs. hot surface) and wire harness connector type against your data plate and wiring diagram before ordering. Our HVAC parts specialists are available to confirm fitment before you purchase.
