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 definite-purpose contactor (part number 1171554) for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS243LSEA0AAAA system. A contactor is an electrically controlled switch: when the 24V control signal energizes the coil, the contacts close and pass line voltage to the compressor and condenser fan motor. This contactor is a 2-pole unit rated for 30 amps with a 24V coil. Over time the silver contact points pit, burn, and weld from repeated arcing, or the coil fails to pull in — leaving the outdoor unit dead, chattering, or stuck running. Replacing a worn contactor restores reliable starts and protects the compressor.

Is this contactor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?

The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.

Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my ICP contactor?

OEM recommended for reliability and warranty compatibility. OEM parts match exact factory specifications for proper fit, performance, and safety. While aftermarket alternatives cost less upfront, the risk of improper fit and reduced lifespan usually makes OEM the better value long-term.
