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.

OEM Payne 2-Pole Contactor HN51KC024 for Model PA17NA03600GBAAA

This is the factory OEM replacement contactor (part number HN51KC024) for the Payne PA17NA03600GBAAA split-system air conditioner. The contactor is the high-voltage relay that receives a 24V signal from the thermostat and closes the circuit to energize the compressor and condenser fan motor. When the contactor fails, common symptoms include the outdoor unit not powering on at all, the unit running continuously without cycling off, or visible pitting and burning on the contact points that prevent reliable switching.

Specs: 2-pole configuration | 24V AC coil voltage | Compatible with R-410A systems | Factory-matched contact rating for the PA17NA036 platform — verify amperage on your unit data plate before ordering
OEM vs Generic: OEM contactors like this HN51KC024 use factory-grade silver-alloy contact points engineered for the exact current loads of the PA17NA03600GBAAA. Generic contactors frequently use lower-grade contacts that pit faster under cycling loads, leading to premature failure and compressor damage.
Install difficulty: 3/5 — Always disconnect power at the disconnect box and verify zero voltage with a multimeter before touching any wiring. Tools needed: flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, needle-nose pliers, multimeter, wire labels or tape. Photograph all wiring connections before removing the old contactor.
Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Orders placed by 3 PM local time ship same business day from our stocked warehouse.

Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Payne PA17NA03600GBAAA single-stage split-system condenser. Always cross-reference the OEM part number HN51KC024 and confirm coil voltage and pole configuration against your unit's data plate before installation. Not sure it fits?

My AC clicks but the compressor won’t turn on. What’s wrong?

Clicking from the outdoor unit without the compressor starting = worn contactor. The contactor sends power to the compressor. When its contacts are pitted, it clicks but can’t make solid contact. Look for: visible pitting/burn marks on the contactor face, intermittent operation, or buzzing.

Is this contactor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?

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

Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my Payne contactor?

OEM recommended for reliability and warranty compatibility. OEM parts match exact factory specifications for proper fit, performance, and safety. While aftermarket alternatives cost less upfront, the risk of improper fit and reduced lifespan usually makes OEM the better value long-term.
