OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor Assembly for Model PY3GNA030060AB

This is the factory OEM spark electrode ignitor assembly for the Carrier PY3GNA030060AB packaged gas/electric unit. The spark electrode ignitor generates the high-voltage spark that ignites the gas burner on each call for heat. When this component fails or becomes fouled with carbon deposits, the control board will attempt ignition and — detecting no flame — lock out the system after one to three tries. The result is a unit that runs the inducer, opens the gas valve, but never establishes a flame, triggering a hard lockout fault code. Replacing the ignitor assembly is the most direct fix for this failure mode.

• OEM Part Numbers: 48GS400168 (primary, current) | 48VL400002 (superseded) — both are factory Carrier spark electrode ignitor assemblies for packaged unit applications
• OEM vs Generic: OEM electrode assemblies are manufactured to exact ceramic insulator specs, correct rod gap, and factory-rated spark cable length. Off-brand electrodes frequently arrive with incorrect gap geometry, leading to intermittent ignition and repeat service calls.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Shut off gas supply and disconnect power before beginning. Tools needed: ¼" nut driver, flat-head screwdriver, needle-nose pliers. The electrode mounts to the burner assembly with two screws; photograph lead routing before disconnecting the spark cable. Re-gap if required per unit service manual.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against manufacturing defects. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before cutoff.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PY3GNA030060AB packaged gas/electric rooftop unit. Also cross-references to Bryant and Payne packaged unit platforms sharing the same burner assembly. Confirm your existing part number on the ignitor's ceramic body or in your unit's service manual before ordering.
