The ignitor's job is straightforward but critical: it generates the spark that lights the burner on every call for heat. When the electrode degrades, cracks, or burns out, the control board detects a failed ignition attempt and immediately locks out the unit — leaving you with a system that runs its inducer, attempts ignition, then shuts down without producing any heat. Replacing the ignitor with an OEM-matched assembly restores the factory ignition arc geometry and eliminates nuisance lockouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48GS400168 | Manufacturer description: Spark Electrode Ignitor Assembly | Replaces PSE-CE15 | Genuine Carrier Factory Authorized Part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM vs Generic:\u003c\/strong\u003e OEM electrode assemblies are manufactured to exact arc-gap and ceramic insulator specifications. Aftermarket units frequently have inconsistent electrode geometry, leading to intermittent spark and repeat no-heat callbacks — especially in cold weather.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstall Difficulty: 2\/5\u003c\/strong\u003e — Disconnect power and shut off gas supply before servicing.
