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 OEM 2-pole, 30-amp contactor with a 24-volt coil (part number 1178074) for the ICP/Heil/Tempstar RGS180SSAA0AAAA system. The contactor is the electrically operated switch that closes the high-voltage circuit to the compressor and condenser fan motor when the 24V control signal energizes the coil. Its contacts carry the full load current every cooling cycle, so they pit, burn, and weld over time. A failing contactor causes symptoms like a buzzing or chattering coil, the outdoor unit not starting, or — when contacts weld — the compressor running continuously. This 30A 2-pole replacement matches the original ratings for a direct swap.

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.
