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 a genuine OEM 2-pole 24V contactor for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS180HTEA0AAAA, available in 30-amp (part 1178074) and 40-amp (part 1178211) ratings. The contactor is the high-voltage switch that powers the compressor and condenser fan motor. When the thermostat calls for cooling, the 24V control coil pulls the contacts closed, sending line voltage to the outdoor unit; when the call ends, the coil releases and the contacts open. Pitted, burned, or stuck contacts are one of the most common causes of an outdoor unit that hums but won't start, won't shut off, or chatters. Replacing a worn contactor restores clean, reliable switching.
