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 genuine ICP single-pole contactor (OEM 1173690) is the high-voltage switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan when the thermostat calls for cooling. Its 24V coil is pulled in by the low-voltage control circuit, closing a 40-amp-rated contact set that feeds line power to the load. Contactors endure thousands of switching cycles per season, so pitted, welded, or chattering contacts are a frequent cause of a no-cool call — the unit either won't start or won't shut off. Replacing a worn contactor is a quick, high-value repair that protects the compressor from voltage starvation. This is the exact OEM 1-pole 40A 24V contactor fitted to the ICP / Tempstar / Heil WPG3604115RKC1.

Compatibility

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the unit disconnect or breaker and verify zero voltage with a multimeter on the line terminals.
Access — Remove the electrical compartment service panel.
Document — Photograph all line, load, and 24V coil connections before disconnecting.
Remove — Transfer the wires one at a time or note each terminal, then unbolt the old contactor from its bracket.
Install — Mount the new contactor and reconnect each wire to the matching terminal per your photo.
Test — Restore power, call for cooling, and confirm the contactor pulls in cleanly with the compressor and fan running.

Signs You Need a Replacement

Unit won't start on a cooling call, or only starts when the contactor is pressed in by hand.
Buzzing, chattering, or humming from the contactor.
Pitted, burnt, or welded contacts that won't open and keep the compressor running.
Visible arcing, melted housing, or scorched terminals.

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.
