What amp contactor do I need for my Carrier system?

The correct replacement for Carrier model Condenser Model CA16NW06000GBAAA Unit is this exact part. It is the factory-specified replacement with exact OEM specifications. Using a part with different specifications can cause equipment damage or void your warranty. You can verify this by checking the data plate on your Carrier equipment which lists the model number Condenser Model CA16NW06000GBAAA Unit.

My AC clicks but the compressor does not turn on. What is wrong?

Clicking from the outdoor unit without the compressor starting usually means a worn contactor. The contactor is the relay that sends power to the compressor. When its contacts are pitted or worn, it clicks but cannot establish a solid electrical connection. Other symptoms: visible pitting or burn marks on the contactor face, AC works intermittently, or buzzing from the contactor.

Is this contactor compatible with Bryant or Payne systems too?

Many Carrier parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne systems since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across multiple brand labels with different model numbers. To verify cross-compatibility, check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or contact info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number for confirmation.

OEM Carrier Contactor for Condenser Model CA16NW06000GBAAA Unit

This genuine OEM Carrier contactor is the heavy-duty electrical relay that switches power to the compressor and condenser fan on the Carrier CA16NW06000GBAAA unit. If your outdoor unit buzzes without starting, the compressor and fan stay off, or you find pitted, welded, or chattering contacts, a worn contactor is the typical cause. This direct-fit replacement matches the original's coil voltage, pole count, and amp rating, so the unit energizes cleanly and carries the high-voltage load without arcing or dropping out. Installation is an easy-to-moderate repair: turn off power at the disconnect, photograph the existing wiring, move the line, load, and 24V coil wires to the identical terminals on the new contactor, and secure it in the control panel. Most installs take 15-25 minutes. Always confirm power is off and that the coil voltage matches your low-voltage circuit before wiring. Genuine Carrier contactors handle compressor inrush current to spec and resist premature contact failure better than generics. In stock and ships same-day on orders before 3PM CST.
