OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor Assembly 48GS400168 for Model PY3PPA036060AB

This OEM spark electrode ignitor assembly (part# 48GS400168) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PY3PPA036060AB packaged gas/electric unit. The dual-rod spark electrode assembly generates the high-voltage arc that ignites the burner on each heating cycle. When the ignitor fails or becomes fouled, the control board cannot confirm ignition, triggering a safety lockout — your system will attempt to light, fail, and lock out after one to three tries, leaving the unit blowing cold air.

• Part Specs: 2-Rod spark electrode ignitor assembly | OEM part# 48GS400168 | Packaged dimensions approx. 3.8 × 1.4 × 4.9 in | Weight: 0.07 lbs | Factory-matched geometry and gap spacing
• OEM vs Generic: OEM ignitors are manufactured to exact Carrier gap, ceramic insulator, and rod-angle tolerances. Off-brand electrodes may produce a weak or mis-aimed spark, leading to repeated lockouts, premature heat exchanger stress, or nuisance service calls.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Shut off gas and power at the disconnect before starting. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, and a flashlight. Disconnect the two high-voltage leads, remove the mounting screws, swap the assembly, and re-gap if necessary per the service manual. Always re-enable power before testing.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM manufacturer warranty. In-stock orders ship same business day from our warehouse.
