Carrier CES0130049-00 Defrost Control Board 240VAC

Carrier Bryant Payne CES0130049-00 Defrost Control Board is an OEM 240V defrost timer/control module for outdoor units in Carrier, Bryant, and Payne heat pump systems. It carries a 240 VAC input rating and a 5FLA load rating, providing the timing and switching function that initiates and ends the defrost cycle to clear ice buildup on the outdoor coil. As a dedicated defrost controller, it coordinates with the system’s compressor and outdoor fan to maintain heating performance in cold weather, and it serves as a replacement part for models that originally used CES0130049-00 family boards. This board is intended for technicians familiar with HVAC electrical harness connections and service procedures, and it should be installed only when the connector layout and electrical ratings match the unit’s service manual specifications. In practice, using the correct defrost control helps prevent prolonged icing and ensures the system returns to normal heating operation after defrost. When shopping for a replacement, verify that the part number matches CES0130049-00 and that it is compatible with your outdoor unit’s control circuits and wiring harnesses.
