What amp contactor do I need for my Goodman system?

The correct replacement for Goodman model GSC130603BA — CONT3P025024VS is this exact part. It is the factory-specified replacement with exact OEM specifications. Using a part with different specifications can cause equipment damage or void your warranty. You can verify this by checking the data plate on your Goodman equipment which lists the model number GSC130603BA — CONT3P025024VS.

My AC clicks but the compressor does not turn on. What is wrong?

Clicking from the outdoor unit without the compressor starting usually means a worn contactor. The contactor is the relay that sends power to the compressor. When its contacts are pitted or worn, it clicks but cannot establish a solid electrical connection. Other symptoms: visible pitting or burn marks on the contactor face, AC works intermittently, or buzzing from the contactor.

Is this contactor compatible with Bryant or Payne systems too?

Many Goodman parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne systems since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across multiple brand labels with different model numbers. To verify cross-compatibility, check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or contact info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number for confirmation.

Goodman CONT3P025024VS 25A 24V 3-Pole Contactor

The Goodman CONT3P025024VS is a genuine OEM 3-pole definite purpose contactor rated at 25 amps with a 24-volt control coil, built for the GSC130603BA 5-ton, 13 SEER condensing unit. The contactor is the electrical switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor whenever the thermostat calls for cooling. Pitted or burned contacts are one of the most common no-cool failures — when the unit hums but won't start, or the fan and compressor fail to engage, the contactor is usually the culprit. This exact-fit replacement restores reliable, chatter-free switching.

OEM vs. Generic

This OEM Goodman contactor matches the GSC130603BA's coil voltage, amperage, and terminal layout exactly. Universal 25-amp contactors can work but often require rewiring and may not seat in the original mounting bracket. OEM guarantees a true plug-and-play replacement with factory-rated contacts.

Installation Difficulty

Moderate — straightforward for a technician and an experienced DIYer. Disconnect all power, photograph and transfer the wires one terminal at a time, and confirm the 24V coil leads. Always verify zero voltage before touching terminals.
