, posted Sat 7 Jun 12:04  
I have a Rheem condensor and a chipmunk fried himself by grabbing hold of both sides of the contactor. I can not read the part number on the contactor and have tried bringing it into a couple of places like grainger and no one could help me.
It's a 1999 Rheem model # RAKA- 030JAZ
The volts for model are 208/230 60 Hertz
It's list the max fuse 30 AMP and Min 25 AMP
I believe it's 2 poles? T1 T3 L1 L3 Also has connections for thermostat on back flagged by sides T1 & L1
Also there is language insdie about warning single pole live voltage or something similar..
Any idea how I can get part number or find suitable replacement part?

Thank you! I don't see the coil below the contactor which is fully exposed on mine. Is it part of this part recommended or an additional purchase?
I originally brought contactor into grainger with all the info from the condensor, and no one could help me. I gave them more info than I posted on here, but yet they didn't find it.
So thank you very much!

It's just a standard contactor with 24 volt coil. I prefer a Mars to Grainger's contactor, but that one will work fine. It does have a coil already.
Some Carrier units require a single pole contactor for proper operation of the crank case heater. Almost every other brand can except a 2 pole contactor, regardless whether or not the old one had a single pole.
