Overview
This is a genuine OEM single-pole definite purpose contactor (part #1172472) for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil WPG3244040RKC1 packaged unit. The contactor is the electrically operated switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor whenever the thermostat calls for cooling. Rated at 30 amps with a 24-volt control coil and an integrated shunt, it closes its line-voltage contacts when the low-voltage coil is energized. A failing contactor is one of the most common causes of a unit that won't start, hums without running, or short-cycles. Pitted, welded, or corroded contacts cause chattering, intermittent operation, or a compressor that never receives power.

Compatibility
Engineered as the factory replacement for the ICP WPG3244040RKC1 packaged gas/electric unit and shared across many ICP-family condensers and packaged systems built by Tempstar, Heil, and Comfortmaker. Always confirm your existing contactor's amp rating, pole count, and 24V coil before ordering.
Installation Guide
- Safety First — Disconnect power at the breaker and the unit disconnect, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
- Access — Remove the service panel to expose the control compartment.
- Document — Photograph all line and low-voltage wires before disconnecting.
- Remove — Note wire positions, transfer one wire at a time, then unscrew the old contactor from the bracket.
- Install — Mount the new contactor and reconnect each wire exactly per your photo, confirming the 24V coil terminals.
- Test — Restore power, call for cooling, and verify the contacts pull in and the compressor and fan start.
Signs You Need a Replacement
