OEM Carrier 1-Pole Contactor 25A 24V Coil (HN51KB024) for Model PY3GNA036090AA
This is the factory OEM replacement contactor for the Carrier PY3GNA036090AA packaged unit. The contactor is the high-voltage switching relay that closes when your thermostat sends a 24V call for cooling, energizing the compressor and/or condenser fan motor. When the contactor fails — through burned contacts, a welded coil, or a worn armature — the system will either fail to start, drop out unexpectedly mid-cycle, or run continuously without responding to thermostat commands.

OEM vs Generic: This is the genuine Carrier OEM contactor, manufactured to exact factory tolerances. Generic contactors often use lower-grade contact materials that pit, arc, and weld more quickly — especially under the high-inrush loads of a compressor start. OEM means longer service life and no compatibility guesswork.
-
Install difficulty: 2/5 — Shut off power at the disconnect AND the breaker before touching any terminals. Tools needed: flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Always photograph existing wiring before removing terminals — coil polarity and load wire positions must be preserved.
-
Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before cutoff.
Compatibility: Engineered as the direct OEM fit for Carrier model PY3GNA036090AA packaged units.
