This is the factory OEM replacement contactor (part number HN52TC040) for the Carrier GC048VTLCXET1XX1 packaged unit. The contactor is a high-voltage relay that receives a 24V signal from your thermostat and closes to send line-voltage power to the compressor and condenser fan motor. When a contactor fails — due to pitted or burned contacts, a stuck plunger, or a failed coil — the system will appear completely unresponsive, hum without starting, or fail to cool even when the thermostat is calling. Replacing a worn contactor is one of the most common and cost-effective HVAC repairs available.
Compatibility: Engineered as a direct drop-in replacement for the Carrier GC048VTLCXET1XX1 packaged unit. The GC048 designation indicates a 4-ton capacity unit — verify your existing contactor's pole count and coil voltage against your data plate before ordering. If you have any fitment questions, our HVAC parts specialists are available to confirm compatibility before you buy. In stock and ready to ship today.
