OEM Carrier Contactor 24V 2-Pole for Model PY3PNA024040NA (HN51KB024)
This is the factory OEM replacement contactor for the Carrier PY3PNA024040NA packaged unit. The contactor is the high-voltage relay that closes the circuit between line voltage and your compressor and condenser fan motor when the thermostat calls for cooling. A failed contactor is one of the most common causes of a system that powers on at the thermostat but produces no cooling — often accompanied by a buzzing or chattering sound at the outdoor unit, or complete silence with no compressor response.
