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 #1178074) is the main switching relay for the outdoor unit on the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RHH072L0CA0AAAA heat pump. Rated at 30 amps with a 24-volt coil, it energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor whenever the thermostat calls for heating or cooling. When the 24V coil is energized by the control circuit, the contactor closes its line-voltage contacts and powers the compressor. A worn contactor is among the most frequent no-cool and no-heat failures — look for a unit that hums but won't start, pitted or welded contacts, a buzzing or chattering noise, or a dead outdoor unit while the indoor blower runs.
