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 OEM 1-pole, 40-amp contactor with a 24V coil (factory part number 1173690) is the high-voltage switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan in the ICP/Tempstar/Heil WPH3484000RKC1 heat pump. When the thermostat sends a 24V signal, the coil pulls the contacts closed and feeds line voltage to the compressor; when the call ends, the contacts open. Contactors are a high-wear part — the contacts pit and burn from repeated arcing, and the coil can fail open. A failing contactor causes hard starts, chatter, welded contacts that won't shut off, or a complete no-start.
