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

The 1171554 contactor is the OEM 2-pole, 30-amp, 24-volt definite-purpose contactor for the ICP Tempstar / Heil RGS240STEA0AAAA system. The contactor is an electrically operated switch: when the thermostat calls and the 24V coil energizes, the contacts close to deliver line voltage to the compressor and condenser fan motor. Over time the contacts pit and burn from arcing, and the coil can fail open or chatter. Symptoms include a unit that won't start, a buzzing or chattering contactor, or compressor and fan that fail to engage. This OEM 30A 2-pole replacement restores clean, reliable switching.

Is this contactor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?
