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

The OEM contactor (part number 1171554) is a 2-pole, 30-amp definite purpose contactor with a 24-volt coil for the ICP Tempstar Heil RGS243SDFA0AAAA system. The contactor is an electrically operated switch — when the thermostat sends a 24V signal to the coil, the contacts close and energize the compressor and condenser fan motor. Over time the contacts pit, burn, and weld from arcing, and the coil can fail, leading to a unit that won't start, chatters, or won't shut off. This genuine OEM 2-pole 30A 24V contactor restores reliable switching.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the disconnect and breaker. Verify zero voltage with a multimeter before proceeding.
Access — Remove the condensing unit/control-box service panel.
Document — Photograph all line, load, and 24V coil wiring before disconnecting.
Remove — Transfer wires one at a time or label them, unscrew the contactor from its mount, and remove it.
Install — Mount the new 2-pole 30A contactor, reconnect line, load, and 24V coil leads per your photo, and torque terminals snug.
Test — Restore power and call for cooling. Confirm the coil pulls in, contacts close cleanly, and the compressor and fan energize.

Buzzing, chattering, or humming from the contactor.

My AC clicks but the compressor won’t turn on. What’s wrong?

Clicking from the outdoor unit without the compressor starting = worn contactor. The contactor sends power to the compressor. When its contacts are pitted, it clicks but can’t make solid contact. Look for: visible pitting/burn marks on the contactor face, intermittent operation, or buzzing.

Is this contactor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?

Many ICP parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. 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.
