What amp contactor do I need for my Goodman system?

The correct replacement for Goodman model GMT115-5A — 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 GMT115-5A — 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 3-Pole Definite Purpose Contactor

The Goodman CONT3P025024VS is a genuine OEM 3-pole definite purpose contactor built as a direct replacement for GMT115-5A equipment. The contactor is the primary switching relay that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor when the thermostat calls for cooling. A 24-volt control signal pulls in the coil, closing all three sets of line-voltage contacts simultaneously to power the outdoor unit.

Specifications

OEM Part Number: CONT3P025024VS
Poles: 3-pole (3P)
Resistive Rating: 25 Amps
Coil Voltage: 24V AC
Compatibility: Goodman GMT115-5A
Type: Definite purpose contactor with silver-alloy contacts

OEM vs. Generic

Genuine Goodman contactors use factory-matched contact ratings and coil pull-in voltage tuned to your unit's control board. Generic 25A contactors can vary in coil resistance and contact material, leading to chatter, contact welding, or nuisance dropouts. OEM ensures reliable pull-in and clean break every cycle, protecting your compressor from arcing damage.

Installation Difficulty

Rating: Moderate (DIY-capable with precautions). Replacement is a common repair, but it involves line voltage. Shut off and lock out power at the disconnect and breaker, photograph the wiring, and transfer leads one at a time to the new contactor. Verify L1/L2/L3 line and load terminals and the 24V coil connections match the original before restoring power. If you are not comfortable working with 240V wiring, call a licensed technician.

Genuine Goodman reliability, ready to ship.
