OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Igniter 48GS400168 for Model PY3PEA036060AA

This OEM spark electrode igniter assembly (part# 48GS400168) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PY3PEA036060AA packaged gas/electric unit. The igniter generates the high-voltage spark that lights the burner assembly during each heating cycle. When this component fails, the control board will attempt ignition, detect no flame, and lock out — leaving you with a cold system and a flashing fault code. Common symptoms include a hard lockout after 3 ignition attempts, clicking with no burner flame, or intermittent no-heat calls.

  • Part Type: Spark electrode igniter assembly (2-rod) | OEM Part# 48GS400168 | Factory Authorized Parts — direct Carrier replacement, no modifications required
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine OEM igniter built to exact Carrier factory specifications. Aftermarket igniters can have mismatched electrode gaps and inferior ceramics, causing unreliable spark and repeat service calls.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Disconnect power and gas before beginning. Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, needle-nose pliers. Note electrode orientation and wire routing before removing the old assembly. Handle ceramic insulators carefully — cracks cause arc-over failures.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before cutoff.

Compatibility: Engineered for the Carrier PY3PEA036060AA packaged unit. Verify your existing part number on the unit data plate or the old part before ordering. Our fitment team is available to confirm compatibility before you buy — no guesswork, no return hassle.
