ICP 1-Pole 30A Contactor for WTA3242000RKA1 — 24V Coil w/ Shunt | Ships Today

Overview

This genuine OEM 1-pole, 30-amp contactor (part 1172472) is the switching relay that powers the compressor and condenser fan in your ICP Tempstar Heil WTA3242000RKA1 unit. When the thermostat calls for cooling, 24V energizes the contactor coil, pulling the contacts closed and sending line voltage to the compressor. The integrated shunt provides a defined low-voltage path for control circuitry. Over time the silver contacts pit, burn, and weld from constant arcing, while the coil can lose its magnetic pull. A failing contactor causes hard starts, chatter, a unit that will not start, or a compressor that will not shut off because the contacts have welded closed.

Specifications

Compatibility

Direct factory replacement for the 1-pole 30A contactor in the ICP Tempstar Heil WTA3242000RKA1 condensing unit and related ICP-family systems using the same 24V control platform. Confirm the printed part number 1172472, the 30A rating, and the 24V coil before installing.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the disconnect and breaker, then verify zero voltage across the line terminals with a multimeter.
2. Access — Remove the condenser electrical-panel cover.
3. Document — Photograph all line, load, and 24V coil wiring before disconnecting.
4. Remove — Move wires one at a time to the new contactor, then unscrew and lift out the old unit.
5. Install — Mount the new contactor and reconnect each wire exactly as photographed.
6. Test — Restore power and confirm the contactor pulls in on a cooling call and the compressor and fan energize.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Buzzing or chattering from the contactor.
• Compressor will not start or starts hard.
• Compressor runs continuously and will not shut off (welded contacts).
• Visibly pitted, burned, or melted contact surfaces.
