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 with a 24V control coil, part number 1178074, for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS102LRCA0AAA unit. The contactor is the high-current switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor when the 24V coil is energized by the thermostat or control board. As one of the hardest-working components in the system, contactor contacts pit, burn, and weld over thousands of cycles, while the coil can fail open. When that happens the outdoor unit either will not start on a cooling call or fails to shut off, sometimes humming or chattering. Replacing a worn 30A contactor restores reliable, clean switching and protects the compressor from low-voltage and chattering damage.

Is this contactor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?

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.
