OEM Payne 2-Pole Contactor HN51KC024 for Model PA3ANA036000BBAA

This is the factory OEM replacement contactor (part number HN51KC024) for the Payne PA3ANA036000BBAA split-system air conditioner. The contactor is the high-voltage switching relay that receives a 24V signal from the thermostat and closes the circuit to send 240V power to the compressor and condenser fan motor. When it fails, the most common symptoms include an air conditioner that won't turn on at all, a unit that hums but never starts, or pitted/burnt contacts that cause intermittent operation or excessive amp draw.

  • Specs: 2-pole configuration | 24V AC coil voltage | 30–40A rated contacts | Direct OEM replacement for part number HN51KC024 | Compatible with R-410A systems
  • OEM vs Generic: This OEM contactor is manufactured to Payne's exact electrical tolerances. Generic contactors frequently feature lower-grade contact materials that pit faster under load, leading to repeat failures — often within a single season.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always shut off power at the disconnect box AND the breaker before beginning. Tools needed: flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wiring connections before removing the old contactor.
  • Warranty: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty. Orders placed before our same-day shipping cutoff ship out of our warehouse the same business day.

Compatibility: Designed as a direct drop-in replacement for the Payne PA3ANA036000BBAA 3-ton split-system condenser. Always verify coil voltage and pole configuration against your unit's wiring diagram or data plate before ordering. Not sure it fits? Our HVAC parts specialists confirm fitment before you buy — no guesswork required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Contactor fit my Payne PA3ANA036000BBAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM contactor for the Payne PA3ANA036000BBAA. It is a direct drop-in replacement that fits without modification. Always verify the model number on your equipment nameplate before ordering.
How do I replace the contactor on my Payne PA3ANA036000BBAA?
Difficulty: Medium (30–45 min)
Step 1: Turn off breaker. Step 2: Open condensing unit panel. Step 3: Photograph ALL wiring on the contactor. Step 4: Label each wire with tape. Step 5: Disconnect wires and remove old contactor. Step 6: Mount new contactor, reconnect wires matching your photo. Step 7: Restore power and test.
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.
How fast does National HVAC Parts ship?
