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 is the genuine OEM 2-pole, 30-amp definite-purpose contactor (part number 1178074) with a 24-volt coil, built for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS090LTCA0AAA system. A contactor is the high-current switch that energizes the compressor and outdoor fan whenever the thermostat sends a 24V signal to the coil. Over thousands of cycles the silver contact points pit, burn, and weld; the coil can also fail open or chatter. When that happens the system may fail to start, buzz loudly, short-cycle, or run continuously even after the call for cooling ends. Replacing a worn 30A 24V contactor with the correct OEM part restores clean, reliable switching and protects the more expensive compressor from voltage damage.

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.
