OEM Carrier Contactor C4850C50AW04051 for Model C4850C50AW04051

This genuine OEM Carrier contactor (C4850C50AW04051) is the electrically controlled switch that powers your compressor and condenser fan motor whenever the thermostat signals for cooling. Manufactured to Carrier's original specifications, it provides crisp contact closure, quiet coil operation, and the durability needed to handle repeated high-amperage starts without arcing or premature wear. It is a direct-fit replacement for Carrier model C4850C50AW04051, matching the factory coil voltage, pole count, and contact rating so your system performs exactly as designed. Installation is moderate in difficulty and well within reach of an HVAC technician or a careful homeowner: shut off power at the disconnect, label and photograph each wire, move the leads to the new contactor one at a time, then mount it securely. The job typically takes 20 to 30 minutes. Swapping out a worn, buzzing, or welded contactor restores reliable cooling cycles and shields your compressor from damaging voltage faults. In stock and ships same-day on orders placed before 3PM CST.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Contactor fit my Carrier Model C4850C50AW04051?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM contactor for the Carrier Model C4850C50AW04051. It is a direct drop-in replacement that fits without modification. Always verify the model number on your equipment nameplate before ordering.
How do I replace the contactor on my Carrier Model C4850C50AW04051?
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.
