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 OEM definite-purpose contactor (primary part 1171554 — CONTACTOR 2P 30A 24V; also covers 1172449 — CONTACTOR 3P 40A 24V, and 1183142 — CONTACTOR 3P 60A 24V) is the high-voltage switch that powers the compressor and condenser fan on your ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS240HDFA0AAAA rooftop gas-electric package unit. When the thermostat calls for cooling, the 24-volt control coil pulls the contacts closed and sends line voltage to the compressor. Over time the contacts pit, arc, and weld, or the coil burns out. A failed contactor leaves the compressor unable to start — or, in the worst case, stuck running because the contacts have welded shut. Common symptoms include a clicking or buzzing contactor that won't pull in, chattering contacts, visible pitting or burn marks, and a compressor that won't shut off.
