OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor Assembly 48GS400168 for Model PY3PEA036090NA

This is the genuine OEM spark electrode ignitor assembly (part #48GS400168) factory-specified for the Carrier PY3PEA036090NA packaged gas/electric unit. The spark electrode ignitor is responsible for initiating combustion at the burner on each call for heat. When this component fails, the control board will attempt ignition, detect no flame, and lock out the system — leaving you with no heat and a blinking fault code. Replacing the ignitor assembly with the correct OEM part restores reliable, factory-calibrated spark timing and gap geometry.

  • Part Specs: 2-rod spark electrode ignitor assembly | OEM part #48GS400168 | Manufacturer: Carrier (Factory Authorized Parts) | Lightweight at approximately 0.07 lbs | Dimensions: ~3.80 × 1.40 × 4.90 inches
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine OEM Carrier ignitor assembly — not an aftermarket substitute. OEM electrodes are manufactured to exact rod spacing and ceramic insulator ratings, ensuring proper spark arc and long-term resistance to cracking from heat cycling. Generic igniters may use inferior ceramics that fail prematurely.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Straightforward replacement on most Carrier packaged units. Tools needed: 1/4" or 5/16" nut driver, flat-head screwdriver, and needle-nose pliers. Always shut off gas and power at the disconnect before servicing. Photograph existing wiring before removal.
  • Warranty & Shipping: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before cutoff.

Compatibility: Directly fits Carrier model PY3PEA036090NA packaged gas/electric unit. Always cross-reference the OEM part number 48GS400168 on your unit's data plate or service manual before ordering. Have a question about fitment? Our HVAC parts specialists verify compatibility before you buy — no guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Igniter fit my Carrier PY3PEA036090NA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM igniter for the Carrier PY3PEA036090NA. It is a direct drop-in replacement that fits without modification. Always verify the model number on your equipment nameplate before ordering.
How do I replace the igniter on my Carrier PY3PEA036090NA?
Difficulty: Medium (20–30 min)
Step 1: Turn off power and gas. Step 2: Open furnace panel. Step 3: Locate igniter near burners. Step 4: Disconnect two-wire plug. Step 5: Remove mounting screw. Step 6: Install new igniter — do NOT touch element with fingers. Step 7: Reconnect, close panel, restore power/gas.
My furnace won’t ignite. What part is bad?
Furnace won’t ignite after the draft inducer runs = failed igniter. The hot surface igniter should glow bright orange within 60 seconds. No glow = cracked/burned out. Weak glow = degrading. Average lifespan: 3–7 years. Replacement: $15–$40 DIY.
Is this igniter compatible with Bryant or Payne too?
Many Carrier parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.
Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my Carrier igniter?
OEM recommended for reliability and warranty compatibility. OEM parts match exact factory specifications for proper fit, performance, and safety. While aftermarket alternatives cost less upfront, the risk of improper fit and reduced lifespan usually makes OEM the better value long-term.
