OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Igniter 48GS400168 for Model PY3PNA036060NA

This is the genuine OEM Carrier spark electrode igniter assembly (part number 48GS400168), factory-specified for the Carrier PY3PNA036060NA packaged gas/electric unit. The spark electrode igniter is responsible for initiating combustion in the heat exchanger on every call for heat. When this component fails, the control board will attempt ignition, receive no flame confirmation signal, and lock out the system — leaving you with a unit that powers on but delivers no heat. Common symptoms include a continuous clicking sound with no burner ignition, an ignition fault error code on the control board, or a system that locks out after one or two ignition attempts.

  • OEM Part Number: 48GS400168 | Replaces PSE-CE15 | Factory Authorized Carrier/Bryant part | Compatible with many Carrier packaged rooftop and split-system units
  • OEM vs Generic: This genuine OEM igniter is manufactured to exact Carrier factory tolerances for electrode gap, ceramic insulator integrity, and lead wire length — ensuring reliable spark arc geometry and long service life. Generic igniters often use substandard ceramics prone to cracking under thermal cycling, leading to repeat failures.
  • Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Shut off gas supply and 24V control power before servicing. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, and a flashlight. Photograph the existing electrode orientation and wire routing before removal. Handle the ceramic insulator with care — do not apply lateral force.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Ships same business day from our warehouse on all in-stock orders.

Compatibility: Engineered as the direct drop-in replacement for Carrier model PY3PNA036060NA packaged units. Verify your existing part number on the unit's wiring diagram or data label before ordering. Our HVAC parts specialists are available to confirm fitment — order with confidence and get your system back online today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Igniter fit my Carrier PY3PNA036060NA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM igniter for the Carrier PY3PNA036060NA. 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 PY3PNA036060NA?
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?
