OEM Carrier 2-Pole Contactor 35A 208/240V for Model 09DE164230

The Carrier HN52KC053 is the factory-specified 2-pole contactor for the Carrier 09DE164230 unit. The contactor serves as the high-voltage relay that connects line power to the compressor and condenser fan motor each time your thermostat calls for cooling. When this component fails — due to worn contacts, burned pitting, or a stuck/welded position — the unit will either refuse to start entirely, run continuously without shutting off, or trip the breaker repeatedly. Replacing a failed contactor is one of the most common and cost-effective HVAC repairs available.

• Specs: 2-Pole | 35 Amps | 208/240V rated | 24V control coil | Part No. HN52KC053 | Factory OEM replacement
• OEM vs Generic: This OEM contactor is manufactured to Carrier's exact contact gap, coil pull-in voltage, and amperage rating. Generic contactors may use lower-grade contact material that pits and welds faster under high-cycle loads, leading to premature failure.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always disconnect power at the breaker and discharge any capacitors before beginning. Tools needed: flat-head and Phillips screwdrivers, needle-nose pliers, voltage tester. Photograph all wiring before removing the old unit. Swap wires one at a time to avoid miswiring.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty included. Orders ship same business day from our warehouse when placed before cutoff.

Compatibility: Engineered as a direct OEM drop-in replacement for Carrier model 09DE164230. Always verify amperage, pole count, and coil voltage against your unit's data plate before ordering. Our fitment team is available to confirm compatibility before you buy — no guesswork required.
