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 contactor is the electrically operated switch that delivers high-voltage power to the compressor and condenser fan in the ICP/Heil/Tempstar RGS244HTFA0AAAA system. When the thermostat calls for cooling, the 24V coil pulls the contacts closed and energizes the load. The primary fitment is a 2-pole 30A contactor (part #1171554), with 3-pole 40A (1172449) and 3-pole 60A (1183142) options available for higher-capacity configurations. Contactor contacts pit and burn over thousands of cycles, eventually sticking closed or failing to pull in — a leading cause of compressors that won't start or won't shut off.
