OEM Payne 2-Pole Contactor 24V Coil for Model PA3PNA036000AB

This OEM contactor is the factory-specified replacement for the Payne PA3PNA036000AB split-system air conditioner. The contactor is the high-voltage relay that receives a 24V signal from your thermostat and closes the circuit to send line voltage to the compressor and condenser fan motor. When it fails, the AC unit will not energize at all, may short-cycle, or you may hear a clicking or chattering sound from the disconnect box with no cooling output.

  • Specs: 2-pole configuration | 24V AC coil voltage | 30–40 amp contact rating | Direct OEM replacement — part number HN51KB024
  • OEM vs Generic: This OEM contactor is built to exact factory specifications for arc suppression, contact material, and coil pull-in voltage. Generic contactors may use lower-grade contact alloys that pit and weld prematurely, leading to repeat failures and potential compressor damage.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always disconnect power at the disconnect box and verify voltage is absent with a multimeter before servicing. Tools needed: flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wiring before disconnecting terminals.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Orders placed by 3 PM ship same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Payne PA3PNA036000AB 3-ton split-system air conditioner. Verify coil voltage (24V) and pole configuration on your unit's data plate before ordering. Our parts specialists are available to confirm fitment — contact us before you order if you have any questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Contactor fit my Payne PA3PNA036000AB?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM contactor for the Payne PA3PNA036000AB. 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 PA3PNA036000AB?
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.
