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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silicon igniter element | OEM part number 48GS400168 | Factory-matched resistance and wattage for Carrier PY3PPA048115AA | Plug-and-play OEM connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM vs Generic:\u003c\/strong\u003e This OEM igniter meets exact Carrier factory specifications for element resistance, heat-up time, and cycle life.
