OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor Assembly 48GS400168 for Model PY3PPA048090AA

This is the genuine OEM Carrier spark electrode ignitor assembly (part number 48GS400168), factory-specified for the Carrier PY3PPA048090AA packaged gas unit. The spark electrode ignitor generates the high-voltage arc that ignites the gas burner on every heating call. When this part fails, the control board will attempt ignition, find no flame, and lock the unit out — leaving you with a blinking fault code, no heat, and a frustrating service call. Replacing the ignitor assembly is one of the most common and cost-effective repairs on Carrier 48GS-series gas packaged units.
