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

The 1173690 is a genuine OEM single-pole, 40-amp contactor with a 24-volt coil for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil WPG4604090LKA1 packaged gas-electric unit. The contactor is the high-voltage relay that the thermostat energizes through the 24V control circuit to start the compressor and condenser fan. Each time a cooling call is made, the 24V coil pulls the contacts closed and passes line voltage to the load. Over thousands of cycles the contacts pit, arc, and burn — leading to chatter, weld-shut sticking, or a complete no-start. A fresh contactor restores clean, reliable switching.

Is this contactor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?

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.
