What amp contactor do I need for my Goodman system?

The correct replacement for Goodman model CPC036 — 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 CPC036 — 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.

OEM Goodman 25A 3-Pole 24V Contactor — CONT3P025024VS

Reliably switch power to your Goodman CPC036XXX3DXJXBA air conditioner with this genuine OEM 3-pole definite-purpose contactor. The contactor is the electrically controlled switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan when the thermostat calls for cooling. Pitted, burned, or chattering contacts cause hard starts, no-cool conditions, and welded-closed failures that keep the compressor running — making this one of the most common AC service replacements.

Specifications

Contact rating: 25 amps (FLA)
Poles: 3
Coil voltage: 24 VAC
Type: Definite-purpose contactor
Fits: Goodman CPC036XXX3DXJXBA and compatible CPC036 series
OEM part number: CONT3P025024VS

OEM vs. Generic

The OEM contactor matches the exact amp rating, pole count, coil voltage, and terminal layout of the original for a plug-and-play swap. Generic contactors may use different terminal positions or coil ratings, requiring rewiring and risking nuisance trips. We recommend OEM for correct contact life and fit.

Installation Difficulty: Moderate

Disconnect power at the disconnect and confirm zero voltage. Photograph the wiring, transfer leads one at a time to the matching terminals on the new contactor, then mount it in the original bracket. Most techs and confident DIYers finish in 20–30 minutes. If unsure, have a licensed HVAC technician perform the swap.
