Overview

This is the genuine OEM 2-pole, 30-amp definite purpose contactor (part 1178074) with a 24-volt coil for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS121SFAB0AAAA system. The contactor is the electrically operated switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor whenever the thermostat calls for cooling. When the 24V coil is energized, the electromagnet pulls the contacts closed and sends line voltage to the load; when the call ends, a spring opens them. Contactors are a frequent failure point because their contacts arc and pit with every cycle. Pitted, welded, or chattering contacts cause hard starts, buzzing, or a unit that won't shut off — and welded contacts can keep a compressor running continuously. Replacing the contactor restores clean, reliable switching.

Compatibility

Installation Guide

  1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the disconnect and breaker; verify zero voltage at the contactor line terminals with a multimeter.
  2. Access — Remove the unit's electrical access panel.
  3. Document — Photo every wire and terminal position before disconnecting.
  4. Remove — Transfer wires one at a time, or label them, then unbolt the old contactor from the bracket.
  5. Install — Mount the new contactor, reconnect line, load, and 24V coil leads exactly per your photo.
  6. Test — Restore power, call for cooling, and confirm the contactor pulls in cleanly with no chatter and the compressor/fan energize.

Signs You Need a Replacement

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Contactor fit my ICP RGS121SFAB0AAAA — Definite Purpose | Ships Today?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM contactor for the ICP RGS121SFAB0AAAA — Definite Purpose | Ships Today. It is a direct drop-in replacement that fits without modification. Always verify the model number on your equipment nameplate before ordering.
How do I replace the contactor on my ICP RGS121SFAB0AAAA — Definite Purpose | Ships Today?
Difficulty: Medium (30–45 min)
Step 1: Turn off breaker. Step 2: Open condensing unit panel. Step 3: Photograph ALL wiring on the contactor. Step 4: Label each wire with tape. Step 5: Disconnect wires and remove old contactor. Step 6: Mount new contactor, reconnect wires matching your photo. Step 7: Restore power and test.
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.
