This is an OEM 1-pole, 25-amp definite purpose contactor (Part No. 1173689) with a 24 VAC coil for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil WPG3242060RKB1 packaged unit. The contactor is the heavy-duty relay that switches line voltage to the compressor and condenser fan motor. When the thermostat calls for cooling, the 24V control circuit energizes the contactor coil, pulling the contacts closed to send line power to the outdoor components.
Contactors wear out from millions of switching cycles. Over time the silver contacts pit, arc, and burn, causing chattering, intermittent operation, or contacts that weld shut and won't release. A stuck-closed contactor leaves the compressor running even when the thermostat is satisfied, while pitted contacts can cause the unit to fail to start. Replacing a worn contactor is one of the most common preventive AC repairs.
