OEM Carrier 2-Pole Contactor 24V Coil for Model PH13NR03600GAFAA

This is the factory OEM replacement contactor (part number HN51KC024) for the Carrier PH13NR03600GAFAA heat pump/split-system condenser. The contactor is the high-voltage relay that bridges 240V line power to the compressor and condenser fan motor whenever the thermostat calls for cooling or heating. When it fails — due to pitted contacts, a burned coil, or a stuck plunger — the outdoor unit simply won't start, even though the thermostat and control board are functioning normally. You may hear the indoor air handler running while the outdoor unit stays silent: a classic contactor failure symptom.

  • Specs: 2-pole configuration | 24V AC coil voltage (thermostat-signal operated) | Rated for high-amperage compressor and fan motor loads | Direct OEM replacement for Carrier part number HN51KC024
  • OEM vs Generic: This OEM contactor is wound, rated, and tested to Carrier factory specifications. Generic aftermarket contactors often use lower-grade contact alloys that pit and weld faster under the high inrush current of a scroll compressor, leading to repeat failures within a single season.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Disconnect and lock out power at the disconnect box before opening the unit. Tools needed: flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Always photograph existing wiring before disconnecting terminals. Coil wires are low-voltage (24V); line-side terminals carry 240V — treat them with full caution even after disconnect.
  • Warranty: Backed by Carrier's 1-year OEM parts warranty. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before 3 PM local time.

Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Carrier PH13NR03600GAFAA 3-ton residential heat pump condenser. Always verify OEM part number HN51KC024 against your unit's data plate or wiring diagram before ordering. Our fitment team is available to confirm compatibility — contact us before you buy if you have any doubts. Order today and your part ships today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Contactor fit my Carrier PH13NR03600GAFAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM contactor for the Carrier PH13NR03600GAFAA. 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 PH13NR03600GAFAA?
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.
How fast does National HVAC Parts ship?
