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. When its contacts are pitted or worn, it clicks but cannot establish a solid electrical connection. Other symptoms: visible pitting or burn marks on the contactor face, AC works intermittently, or buzzing from the contactor.

Overview

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.
