OEM Payne 2-Pole Contactor 24V Coil for Model PA3ZNB036000AA

This OEM replacement contactor (part number HN51KC024) is the factory-specified high-voltage relay for the Payne PA3ZNB036000AA 3-ton split-system air conditioner. The contactor acts as the main power switch between your 240V line voltage and the compressor and condenser fan motor. When the thermostat calls for cooling, the 24V control circuit energizes the contactor coil, closing the contacts and allowing the unit to run. A failed contactor typically causes the AC to not turn on at all, run continuously without shutting off, or produce a chattering/buzzing noise from the outdoor unit.

  • Specs: 2-pole configuration | 24V coil voltage | 30-amp rated contacts | Factory-matched OEM part number HN51KC024
  • OEM vs Generic: This OEM contactor meets Payne's exact coil pull-in voltage and contact resistance specifications. Generic contactors often use lower-grade contact materials that pit and arc faster under compressor load, leading to premature failure and potential compressor damage.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always disconnect power at the breaker and discharge any capacitors before servicing. Tools needed: flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wiring connections before removal to ensure correct reinstallation.
  • Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Orders placed before cutoff ship same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the Payne PA3ZNB036000AA 3-ton split-system condenser. Verify your existing contactor's pole count, coil voltage, and amperage rating against your unit's data plate before ordering. Our parts specialists are available to confirm fitment — don't guess on a contactor replacement. Order now and get same-day shipping on this in-stock OEM part.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Contactor fit my Payne PA3ZNB036000AA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM contactor for the Payne PA3ZNB036000AA. 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 PA3ZNB036000AA?
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?
