Overview

The ICP OEM contactor (part #1178074) is a 2-pole, 30-amp magnetic switch with a 24V control coil used in the RGS102HRCA0AAA gas furnace/condensing unit family. The contactor is the electromechanical relay that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor when the thermostat calls for cooling. When the 24V coil is energized, the two poles pull in and close the high-voltage line contacts. Over thousands of cycles the contacts pit, arc, and weld, or the coil burns open — causing a unit that hums but won't start, chatters, or refuses to shut off. Replacing a worn contactor restores clean, reliable switching and protects downstream components.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the disconnect and breaker; verify zero voltage with a multimeter at the contactor line terminals.
Access — Remove the unit's service/electrical panel.
Document — Photograph every wire and terminal before disconnecting.
Remove — Note line (L1/L2), load (T1/T2), and 24V coil leads, then transfer wires one at a time from the old contactor and unscrew it from the bracket.
Install — Mount the new contactor and reconnect each wire to the matching terminal per your photo.
Test — Restore power, call for cooling, and confirm the contactor pulls in cleanly and the compressor/fan start.

Signs You Need a Replacement
