OEM Carrier Spark Electrode Ignitor for Model PY4GPAB60090NA (48VL400002 / 50HJ403022)
This is the factory-authorized OEM spark electrode ignitor assembly for the Carrier PY4GPAB60090NA packaged gas unit. The spark electrode is the first component in the ignition sequence — it generates the high-voltage spark that lights the burner. When this part fails or cracks, the control board will attempt ignition, detect no flame, and trigger a safety lockout. Common symptoms include: no heat, repeated ignition attempts followed by a fault code, or a furnace that cycles on and off without ever establishing a flame.
