OEM Carrier Contactor 2-Pole 24V Coil for Model C4850C50AW03561
This is the factory OEM replacement contactor (part# HN53CB115) for the Carrier C4850C50AW03561 packaged unit. The contactor is a high-voltage relay that receives a 24V signal from the thermostat control board and closes the circuit to energize the compressor and condenser fan motor. When the contactor fails — due to pitted or burned contacts, a stuck plunger, or a failed coil — the system will not cool, the compressor won't start, or the unit may run continuously without shutting off.
