OEM Carrier 2-Pole Contactor HN52TC040 for Model GC024VTLNXET1XX1
This is the factory OEM replacement contactor (part number HN52TC040) for the Carrier GC024VTLNXET1XX1 split-system unit. The contactor is a high-voltage relay that receives a 24V signal from the thermostat control circuit and closes to send line voltage to the compressor and condenser fan motor. When the contactor fails — due to pitted contacts, a burned coil, or a stuck plunger — the system will either fail to start entirely, run continuously without shutting off, or trip the breaker repeatedly. Replacing a failed contactor is one of the most common and cost-effective HVAC repairs available.
