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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Contactor fit my ICP WTA3242000RKA1 — 24V Coil w/ Shunt | Ships Today?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM contactor for the ICP WTA3242000RKA1 — 24V Coil w/ Shunt | Ships Today. It is a direct drop-in replacement that fits without modification. Always verify the model number on your equipment nameplate before ordering.
How do I replace the contactor on my ICP WTA3242000RKA1 — 24V Coil w/ Shunt | Ships Today?
Difficulty: Medium (30–45 min)
Step 1: Turn off breaker. Step 2: Open condensing unit panel. Step 3: Photograph ALL wiring on the contactor. Step 4: Label each wire with tape. Step 5: Disconnect wires and remove old contactor. Step 6: Mount new contactor, reconnect wires matching your photo. Step 7: Restore power and test.
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.
How fast does National HVAC Parts ship?
