OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor Assembly 48GS400168 for Model PY3PPA030060NB
This is the factory OEM spark electrode ignitor assembly (part number 48GS400168), the direct replacement for the Carrier PY3PPA030060NB packaged gas unit. The ignitor initiates combustion by generating a high-voltage spark at the burner. When it fails or degrades, the unit will attempt ignition, fail to establish flame, and enter a safety lockout — leaving you with no heat. Replacing the ignitor assembly is one of the most common and cost-effective furnace repairs available.
