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 OEM single-pole definite purpose contactor (part number 1172472) is the electromagnetic switch that powers the compressor and condenser fan motor on your ICP WCA3362GKR1 condensing unit. When the thermostat calls for cooling, the 24-volt control circuit energizes the coil, pulling the contacts closed to deliver line voltage to the compressor. Rated for 30 amps with a 1-pole configuration and an integrated shunt, it is built to handle the high inrush current of a starting compressor. Common failure symptoms include a unit that hums but won't start, pitted or welded contacts that prevent the system from shutting off, chattering at the contactor, or burnt and discolored terminals from electrical arcing.

Compatibility

This contactor is the factory-specified replacement for the ICP (Tempstar / Heil / Comfortmaker) WCA3362GKR1 condensing unit. It also services many ICP-family air conditioners and heat pumps using a 1-pole, 30A, 24V coil contactor. Always verify your existing part's pole count, amp rating, and coil voltage against your unit before installing.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the disconnect box and breaker, then verify zero voltage at the contactor terminals with a multimeter.
Access — Remove the service panel from the condensing unit to expose the electrical compartment.
Document — Photograph all wire connections before disconnecting anything.
Remove — Label and disconnect the line, load, and 24V coil wires, then unscrew the old contactor from its bracket.
Install — Mount the new contactor, reconnect each wire exactly as photographed, and confirm tight terminal connections.
Test — Restore power, call for cooling, and verify the contacts pull in and the compressor energizes cleanly.

Signs You Need a Replacement

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.
