OEM Carrier Draft Inducer Pressure Switch 0.18" WC for Model PY4GEAB42090NA
This OEM draft pressure switch (part number HK06WC061, factory-superseded by HK06MB061) is the direct replacement for the Carrier PY4GEAB42090NA packaged unit. The pressure switch monitors negative pressure created by the inducer motor to confirm safe venting conditions before the ignition sequence begins. When it fails or sticks open, the control board cannot verify that combustion gases are being exhausted properly — resulting in a no-heat lockout, a blinking fault code, or a furnace that cycles off before ignition ever fires.

OEM vs Generic: OEM pressure switches are calibrated to exact W.C. tolerances at the factory. Off-brand substitutes can trip at incorrect pressures — causing nuisance lockouts or, worse, failing to detect a blocked flue, creating a safety hazard.
-
Install difficulty: 2/5 — Disconnect power before servicing. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, flathead screwdriver, manometer (recommended for verification). Note the port orientation and hose routing before removing the old switch. Inspect rubber tubing for cracks while the switch is out.
-
