OEM Carrier Contactor 2-Pole 24V Coil for Model GC024HSLNDET1XX1
This is the factory OEM replacement contactor (part number HN52TC040) for the Carrier GC024HSLNDET1XX1 condensing unit. The contactor is a high-voltage relay that receives a 24V signal from the thermostat and closes the circuit to send 240V power to the compressor and condenser fan motor. When it fails, your system may not respond to a cooling call at all, or you may hear a clicking or chattering sound as pitted contact points fail to hold a clean connection. Replacing a worn contactor is one of the most cost-effective repairs in HVAC service.
