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 24-volt coil (part number 1171554) for the ICP / Heil / Tempstar RGS243LEFA0AAAA unit. The contactor is the electrical switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan when the thermostat calls. Its contacts pit and burn over time, leading to chattering, welded contacts that won't drop out, or an outdoor unit that won't start. A failing 24V coil can also prevent the contactor from pulling in at all. Replacing a worn contactor restores clean, reliable switching and protects downstream components. This is a direct-fit OEM replacement rated at 30A per pole.

Is this contactor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?

Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my ICP contactor?
