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.

Overview

This OEM contactor set for the ICP / Heil / Tempstar RHS240L0EA0AAAA heat pump includes a 2-pole 30-amp contactor (OEM 1171554) and a 3-pole 40-amp contactor (OEM 1172449), both with a 24V control coil. The contactor is the electrically-operated switch that closes the high-voltage circuit to the compressor and condenser fan motor whenever the thermostat calls for cooling or heating. When the 24V coil energizes, the contacts pull in and pass line voltage to the load. Pitted, welded, or burned contacts and a weak coil are leading causes of a no-cool/no-heat condition, hard starting, and humming at the outdoor unit.
