OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor 48GS400168 for Model PY3PEA048115NA

This is the genuine OEM Carrier spark electrode ignitor assembly (part number 48GS400168), the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PY3PEA048115NA packaged unit. The spark electrode ignitor is responsible for initiating combustion each time your unit calls 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 fault code. Common failure symptoms include repeated ignition lockouts, a visible crack or carbon tracking on the electrode tip, or intermittent no-heat calls that reset after a power cycle.

  • OEM Part Number: 48GS400168 | Factory-authorized Carrier replacement | Replaces PSE-CE15
  • OEM vs Generic: This genuine Carrier OEM ignitor is manufactured to exact factory gap spacing and ceramic insulator specifications. Off-brand electrodes can exhibit inconsistent spark gap tolerances, leading to unreliable ignition or premature ceramic cracking under thermal cycling.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Shut off gas supply and disconnect power before servicing. Tools needed: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, needle-nose pliers. Photograph wiring harness connector orientation before disconnecting. Handle ceramic insulator carefully — do not apply lateral stress to the electrode tip.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before cutoff.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PY3PEA048115NA packaged gas/electric unit. Verify OEM part number 48GS400168 against your unit's data plate or service manual before ordering. Our fitment team is available to confirm compatibility — don't sit without heat longer than necessary. Order now and get same-day shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Igniter fit my Carrier PY3PEA048115NA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM igniter for the Carrier PY3PEA048115NA. 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 PY3PEA048115NA?
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.
How fast does National HVAC Parts ship?
