Overview

This OEM 2-pole definite purpose contactor (part #60126456) is the primary switching device for the ICP RYB023GAA condensing unit. Energized by a 24-volt control signal from the thermostat circuit, its 18-amp rated contacts close to deliver line voltage to the compressor and condenser fan motor. When the contactor fails, the system either will not start or, in the case of welded contacts, will not shut off. Common failure modes include pitted or burned contacts, a chattering or open coil, and insect or debris intrusion that prevents the armature from pulling in cleanly. Replacing a worn contactor restores reliable, clean switching and protects the compressor from low-voltage and short-cycling damage.

Compatibility

Engineered as a direct OEM replacement for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RYB023GAA condensing unit. Also commonly used across matching ICP-family air conditioners and heat pumps that originally shipped with a 2-pole 18A 24V-coil contactor.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the outdoor disconnect and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter across the line terminals.
Access — Remove the condensing unit's service panel to expose the control compartment.
Document — Photograph all line, load, and coil wiring before disconnecting anything.
Remove — Label and disconnect the wires, then unscrew the old contactor from its bracket.
Install — Mount the new contactor and reconnect each wire to the matching terminal per your photo, ensuring the two 24V coil leads are correct.
Test — Restore power, call for cooling, and confirm the contactor pulls in and the compressor and fan energize.
