Contactor question
I recently replaced my contactor in my Goodman GMC VSX130301DB AC unit.
The original contactor was a single pole 25 amp unit and the one I replaced it with is a double pole 30 amp unit. I wired the new double pole exactly like the single pole contactor. It works fine, but now after reading more I'm concerned if I should have installed a single pole in case there is a crankcase heater that needs constant power.
How can I tell if that is the case on this Goodman AC unit?

Welcome to the forums.
From what I could find it doesn't appear that Goodman uses crankcase heaters on the standard A/C units. They are used on the heat pumps.

I don't see one in the wiring diagram...
You can look down past the outdoor fan to see in one is installed.
They usually look like a giant hose clamp wrapped around the base of the compressor.
