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 definite-purpose contactor switches the high-voltage power to the compressor and condenser fan on the ICP/Heil/Tempstar RGS240HFEA0AAAA system. When the thermostat calls for cooling, the 24V coil pulls the contacts closed and energizes the load; when the call ends, the contacts open and isolate the circuit. The base configuration is a 2-pole 30A contactor (OEM 1171554), with 3-pole 40A (1172449) and 3-pole 60A (1183142) variants available for the matching platform. Contactor contacts are a high-wear item — they arc every time they open and close, so they eventually pit, burn, weld shut, or chatter. A failed contactor can leave the compressor running continuously, fail to start at all, or buzz loudly from a weak coil.

Is this contactor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?

Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my ICP contactor?
