OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor Assembly 48GS400168 for Model PY3PNA042060AB

This OEM spark electrode ignitor assembly (part# 48GS400168) is the factory-specified replacement ignitor for the Carrier PY3PNA042060AB packaged gas unit. The ignitor generates the spark that ignites the gas burners during each call for heat. When this component fails or degrades, the furnace or packaged unit will attempt ignition, fail to light, and go into a safety lockout — leaving you with no heat. Common symptoms include the system cycling on and off repeatedly, a blinking fault code on the control board, or a complete no-heat condition.

  • Specs: 2-Rod Spark Electrode Ignitor Assembly | Factory OEM configuration | Lightweight at 0.07 lbs | Compact dimensions: 3.80" x 1.40" x 4.90" | Direct drop-in replacement
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier OEM ignitor assembly, manufactured to exact factory electrode gap and material specifications. Generic igniters often use inferior alloys that erode faster and misfire under low-voltage or dirty-burner conditions, leading to repeat failures.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Turn off power and gas before beginning. Tools needed: 1/4" or 5/16" nut driver, needle-nose pliers. Photograph the electrode wire routing before disconnecting. Handle the electrode tips carefully — do not touch the ceramic insulators with bare hands.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In-stock and ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before cutoff.

Compatibility: Engineered as a direct OEM fit for the Carrier PY3PNA042060AB packaged gas/electric unit. Always verify your model and serial number against your unit's data plate before ordering. Our fitment team is available to confirm compatibility before you buy — no guesswork required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Igniter fit my Carrier PY3PNA042060AB?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM igniter for the Carrier PY3PNA042060AB. 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 PY3PNA042060AB?
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?
