OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Igniter (48GS400168) for Model PY2PPB060130AB

This is the genuine OEM Carrier spark electrode igniter assembly, part number 48GS400168, factory-specified for the Carrier PY2PPB060130AB packaged gas/electric unit. The spark electrode igniter is a critical component in your unit's ignition sequence — it generates the high-voltage spark that ignites the gas burner at startup. When this part fails, the control board will detect an ignition fault and enter safety lockout, leaving your system with no heat output. Common failure symptoms include repeated ignition attempts with no flame, an error code indicating ignition lockout, or a unit that clicks but never fires.

• Part Number: 48GS400168 | OEM Carrier Ignitor/Electrode Assembly | Replaces PSE-CE15 | Compatible with many Carrier package units
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier Factory Authorized Part, built to exact OEM spark gap and ceramic insulator specifications. Aftermarket electrodes frequently suffer from inconsistent spark gap geometry and inferior ceramic quality, leading to premature cracking and repeat failures.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — A straightforward swap for an experienced technician. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter to verify ignition voltage at the control board terminal. Always disconnect power and shut off gas supply before beginning work. Inspect the ignition wire (P/N 50HJ403024) for cracks or arcing while the unit is open.
• Warranty: Backed by Carrier's OEM manufacturer warranty. Ships same business day from our stocked warehouse — no backorder delays.
