OEM Carrier Hot Surface Igniter for Model PY3PPA048115AA — Part #48GS400168

This OEM hot surface igniter (part number 48GS400168) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PY3PPA048115AA packaged unit. The igniter is the critical first link in the heating sequence — it glows to ignition temperature (typically 1,800–2,500°F) to light the gas burner on each call for heat. When it fails, the furnace or packaged unit will attempt ignition, fail to establish flame, and lock out — leaving you with no heat. Common symptoms include repeated ignition attempts with no burner light-off, an error code indicating an ignition failure, or a visibly cracked or broken igniter element.

  • Specs: Silicon igniter element | OEM part number 48GS400168 | Factory-matched resistance and wattage for Carrier PY3PPA048115AA | Plug-and-play OEM connector
  • OEM vs Generic: This OEM igniter meets exact Carrier factory specifications for element resistance, heat-up time, and cycle life. Generic igniters often have off-spec wattage ratings that cause premature cracking, nuisance lockouts, or short service life.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Turn off gas and electrical power before beginning. Tools needed: 1/4" or 5/16" nut driver, work gloves (never touch the element with bare hands — skin oils cause premature failure), and a multimeter to verify element continuity before and after installation.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Carrier PY3PPA048115AA packaged unit. Always verify your existing part number on the unit's wiring diagram or data plate before ordering. If you have compatibility questions, our HVAC parts specialists will confirm fitment before you purchase — no guesswork required. Order today for same-day shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Igniter fit my Carrier PY3PPA048115AA — 48GS40016?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM igniter for the Carrier PY3PPA048115AA — 48GS40016. It is a direct drop-in replacement that fits without modification. Always verify the model number on your equipment nameplate before ordering.
How do I replace the igniter on my Carrier PY3PPA048115AA — 48GS40016?
Difficulty: Medium (20–30 min)
Step 1: Turn off power and gas. Step 2: Open furnace panel. Step 3: Locate igniter near burners. Step 4: Disconnect two-wire plug. Step 5: Remove mounting screw. Step 6: Install new igniter — do NOT touch element with fingers. Step 7: Reconnect, close panel, restore power/gas.
My furnace won’t ignite. What part is bad?
Furnace won’t ignite after the draft inducer runs = failed igniter. The hot surface igniter should glow bright orange within 60 seconds. No glow = cracked/burned out. Weak glow = degrading. Average lifespan: 3–7 years. Replacement: $15–$40 DIY.
Is this igniter compatible with Bryant or Payne too?
Many Carrier parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.
Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my Carrier igniter?
OEM recommended for reliability and warranty compatibility. OEM parts match exact factory specifications for proper fit, performance, and safety. While aftermarket alternatives cost less upfront, the risk of improper fit and reduced lifespan usually makes OEM the better value long-term.
How fast does National HVAC Parts ship?
