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 OEM 2-pole 30-amp contactor with a 24-volt coil (part 1178074) is the high-voltage switch for the ICP, Tempstar, and Heil RGS120HFAA0AGAA system. When the thermostat calls, the 24V coil pulls the contacts closed and sends line voltage to the compressor and condenser fan motor. Contactors are wear items: their contacts arc and pit every time they open under load, and the coil eventually weakens. A failing contactor causes hard starts, buzzing, chattering, or a unit that will not energize at all — sometimes the contacts even weld shut and the compressor runs continuously. Replacing it with the exact 2-pole, 30A, 24V OEM unit restores clean, reliable switching.
