OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor Assembly 48GS400168 for Model PY3PNA060130NB
This is the factory OEM spark electrode ignitor assembly (part number 48GS400168) for the Carrier PY3PNA060130NB packaged gas/electric unit. The ignitor assembly initiates combustion each time the system calls for heat by generating a precisely timed spark at the burner. When the electrode degrades, cracks, or fails entirely, the control board cannot confirm a flame and the system enters a safety lockout — leaving you with a unit that cycles repeatedly but never delivers heat.
