OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor 48GS400168 for Model PY3PEA036060AB

This is the factory-authorized OEM spark electrode ignitor assembly for the Carrier PY3PEA036060AB packaged gas/electric unit. The ignitor is responsible for igniting the gas burners during each heating cycle. When it fails, the system will attempt ignition, fail to establish a flame, and enter a safety lockout — leaving you with no heat. Common symptoms include the unit cycling on and off repeatedly, a no-heat fault code on the control board, or the system running the inducer but never producing a flame.

  • Part Number: 48GS400168 | OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor Assembly | Factory Authorized Parts (FAP) replacement — direct drop-in fit for the PY3PEA036060AB
  • OEM vs Generic: OEM electrodes maintain factory-spec gap geometry and ceramic insulator integrity, ensuring reliable spark arc on every cycle. Generic igniters may use inferior ceramic materials prone to cracking under thermal stress, leading to premature failure and repeat service calls.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Shut off gas supply and power before servicing. Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, needle-nose pliers. Disconnect the two-wire harness, remove the mounting screw, and swap the electrode assembly. Verify wire routing and clearance to burner before restoring power.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty on parts. Orders ship same business day from our warehouse — get your system back online fast.
