Carrier 38TPA042 Ignition Igniter
The ignition igniter in the 38TPA042 is primarily responsible for burning the fuel in your system. It is impossible for the heating system to start and create heat inside the furnace if it fails to do its job.
Indications of a weak main ignition igniter
- There is no ignition within the furnace and no heated airflow
- Your Carrier creates nada when the thermostat says that it should be heating
