My AC clicks but the compressor does not turn on. What is wrong?

Clicking from the outdoor unit without the compressor starting usually means a worn contactor. The contactor is the relay that sends power to the compressor.

Overview

This genuine OEM 1-pole, 23-amp definite purpose contactor (Part No. 14306505) with a 24V control coil is the switching relay for the ICP / Heil / Tempstar YA036 condensing unit. On a call for cooling, the 24V coil closes the contact to energize the compressor and condenser fan circuit. Typical failures are pitted or welded contacts, a chattering contactor that won't pull in, and a burnt-out 24V coil. Symptoms include a unit that won't start, an audible hum without engagement, a compressor that won't shut off, or visible arcing and burn marks at the terminals.

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 ICP 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 ICP 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.
