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 genuine OEM 2-pole definite purpose contactor (part number 1178074) is the main switching relay for the ICP/Heil/Tempstar RHH048L0XA0AAAA heat pump condensing unit. Rated at 30 amps per pole with a 24-volt control coil, it energizes the compressor and condenser fan whenever the thermostat calls for heating or cooling. Contactors are a leading failure point in outdoor units: the silver contacts pit and burn from repeated switching, and the coil can open from heat and age. Watch for a unit that hums but won't start, a chattering or buzzing contactor, contacts that weld closed and keep the compressor running, or no 24V pull-in at all.
