Overview

This is a genuine OEM 2-pole contactor (part number 1178074) for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS180SSEA0AAAA furnace and matched cooling system. The contactor is the high-voltage switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor whenever the 24V control circuit calls for cooling. It carries a 30-amp resistive rating across two poles and is actuated by a 24-volt coil. When a contactor fails, the system either won't start, chatters audibly, or welds shut and runs continuously. Pitted, burned, or buzzing contacts are the most common cause of a no-cool condition in residential split systems.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the disconnect box and verify zero voltage at the contactor terminals with a multimeter.
Access — Remove the unit's electrical access panel.
Document — Photograph all line, load, and 24V coil wiring before disconnecting anything.
Remove — Label and disconnect the wires, then unscrew the old contactor from its mounting bracket.
Install — Mount the new contactor and reconnect each wire exactly as photographed; confirm the 24V coil leads land on the coil terminals.
Test — Restore power and verify the contactor pulls in cleanly on a cooling call with no chatter.

Is this contactor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?

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.
