OEM Carrier 2-Pole Contactor 24V Coil HN51KC024 for Model CH16NA03600GBAAA

This OEM contactor (part number HN51KC024) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier CH16NA03600GBAAA split-system condenser. The contactor acts as the high-voltage relay that connects line-voltage power to the compressor and condenser fan motor whenever the thermostat sends a 24V signal. When it fails, the most common symptoms include an air conditioner that won't turn on at all, a compressor that hums without starting, or a unit that runs continuously without shutting off due to welded contacts.

  • Specs: 2-pole configuration | 24V AC coil voltage | Rated for Carrier CH16NA03600GBAAA 3-ton split-system condenser | Factory-matched contact rating for reliable high-voltage switching
  • OEM vs Generic: This OEM unit is built to exact Carrier factory specifications, ensuring proper coil pull-in voltage and contact durability. Generic contactors often use lower-grade contact materials that pit and weld prematurely, leading to repeat failures within one to two seasons.
  • Install difficulty: 3/5 — Requires shutting off all power at the disconnect and breaker before beginning. Tools needed: flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter to verify coil continuity. Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting the old contactor to ensure correct reinstallation.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. Orders placed before cutoff ship same business day from our stocked warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for the Carrier CH16NA03600GBAAA 3-ton split-system condenser. Always verify coil voltage and pole configuration against your unit's wiring diagram and data plate before ordering. Our fitment team is available to confirm compatibility before you purchase — no guesswork required.

How do I replace the contactor on my Carrier OEM Carrier Contactor 2-Pole 24V Coil HN51KC024 — CH16NA03600GBAAA?
Difficulty: Medium (30–45 min)
Step 1: Turn off breaker. Step 2: Open condensing unit panel. Step 3: Photograph ALL wiring on the contactor. Step 4: Label each wire with tape. Step 5: Disconnect wires and remove old contactor. Step 6: Mount new contactor, reconnect wires matching your photo. Step 7: Restore power and test.
My AC clicks but the compressor won’t turn on. What’s wrong?
Clicking from the outdoor unit without the compressor starting = worn contactor. The contactor sends power to the compressor. When its contacts are pitted, it clicks but can’t make solid contact. Look for: visible pitting/burn marks on the contactor face, intermittent operation, or buzzing.
Is this contactor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?
Many Carrier parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.
Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my Carrier contactor?
OEM recommended for reliability and warranty compatibility. OEM parts match exact factory specifications for proper fit, performance, and safety. While aftermarket alternatives cost less upfront, the risk of improper fit and reduced lifespan usually makes OEM the better value long-term.
