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 definite-purpose contactor (part number 1171554) is the primary switching relay for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS213STAA0AAAA condensing unit. Rated at 30 amps with a 24-volt control coil, it energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor whenever the thermostat calls for cooling. When the 24V signal reaches the coil, an electromagnet pulls the contacts closed and sends line voltage to the outdoor equipment. Contactors are one of the most common failure points in an air conditioning system because the contacts arc and pit every time they open and close. Symptoms of a failing contactor include a buzzing or chattering outdoor unit, a compressor that won't start, contacts that weld shut (causing the unit to run continuously), or visible burning and pitting on the contact surfaces.

Compatibility

Direct OEM fit for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS213STAA0AAAA. This 2-pole 30A/24V definite-purpose contactor is also a common replacement across many residential split-system condensing units of similar tonnage that use a 24V control circuit. Always confirm pole count, amp rating, and coil voltage against your original part before installing.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the outdoor disconnect and the breaker. Verify zero voltage at the contactor terminals with a multimeter.
Access — Remove the condensing unit's electrical access panel.
Document — Photograph all wire connections before disconnecting anything.
Remove — Disconnect line, load, and the two 24V coil wires. Unscrew the old contactor from the mounting bracket.
Install — Mount the new contactor and reconnect each wire exactly as shown in your photo (line in on one side, load to compressor/fan on the other, 24V to the coil terminals).
Test — Restore power and call for cooling. Confirm the contacts pull in cleanly and the compressor and fan start.

Signs You Need a Replacement

Loud buzzing, humming, or chattering from the outdoor unit.
Compressor and fan fail to start on a cooling call.
Outdoor unit runs nonstop because the contacts have welded closed.
Visible pitting, burning, or melted plastic on the contactor.
