OEM Carrier Hot Surface Igniter (48GS400168) for Model PY2PPB042060AA
This OEM hot surface igniter is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PY2PPB042060AA packaged heating and cooling unit. The igniter is a critical component in the gas ignition sequence — it glows to a high temperature to ignite the gas burner on each heating call. When it fails, the furnace or packaged unit will attempt ignition, fail to light, and go into safety lockout, leaving your system with no heat. A cracked, worn, or open-circuit igniter is one of the most common causes of no-heat service calls.
