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.
