OEM Carrier Replacement Contactor for Model CP50P550P505020CP

This OEM Carrier contactor is the genuine electromagnetic switch that routes high-voltage power to your condensing unit's compressor and fan motor whenever your system calls for cooling. Made to factory specifications for Carrier model CP50P550P505020CP, it provides an exact, direct-fit replacement with no wiring changes required. Burned or pitted contacts commonly cause an outdoor unit that hums but fails to start, or one that won't disengage when cooling is complete. Replacing the contactor restores dependable contact closure and protects your compressor from harmful chatter and voltage drop. This is an easy repair for most homeowners, taking about 15 to 20 minutes with simple hand tools — always disconnect power at the breaker before starting. Genuine OEM parts guarantee the proper amperage rating, coil voltage, and terminal arrangement for safe, reliable operation. We stock this contactor and ship same-day on all orders placed before 3PM CST, so your air conditioner is back to cooling without delay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Contactor fit my Carrier Model CP50P550P505020CP?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM contactor for the Carrier Model CP50P550P505020CP. 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 CP50P550P505020CP?
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.
