OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor 48GS400168 for Model PY3PEA060130AB

This OEM spark electrode ignitor assembly is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PY3PEA060130AB packaged gas unit. The ignitor initiates combustion by generating a high-voltage spark across the electrode gap to light the burner. When the ignitor fails, the control board will attempt ignition, fail to sense flame, and lock out — leaving you with no heat and a fault code. A cracked ceramic insulator, corroded electrode tip, or broken wire harness are the most common failure modes.

  • Specs: 2-Rod Spark Electrode Assembly | OEM Part # 48GS400168 | Factory Authorized Parts — Carrier Corporation | Fits 48GS-series packaged gas systems
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier Factory Authorized Part (FAP), manufactured to exact gap-distance and ceramic-insulator specifications. Generic igniters often have inconsistent spark gap geometry, causing unreliable ignition, nuisance lockouts, and shortened service life.

Note wire polarity and routing before disconnecting the harness. Inspect the ceramic insulator for hairline cracks before reinstalling the burner assembly cover.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before 3 PM local time.

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?

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.
