OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Igniter (48GS400168) for Model PY3PPA036060NA

This is the factory-authorized OEM spark electrode igniter assembly for the Carrier PY3PPA036060NA packaged gas/electric unit. The igniter electrode is the critical first step in every heating cycle — it generates the spark that lights the burner. When this component fails, the unit will attempt ignition, produce no flame, and enter a safety lockout. Symptoms include a clicking sound with no heat, repeated ignition attempts, or an immediate no-heat fault code displayed on the control board.
