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 is a genuine OEM 2-pole definite-purpose contactor (part number 1178074) for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RHH090S0AA0AAAA heat pump. The contactor is the high-voltage switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor when the 24V control circuit calls for operation. When the thermostat sends 24 volts to the coil, the electromagnet pulls the contacts closed and passes line voltage to the outdoor unit. Rated at 30 amps per pole with a 24V coil, it is built to handle the inrush current of a residential compressor over thousands of switching cycles. A failing contactor is among the most common no-cool/no-heat outdoor service calls — pitted or welded contacts, a buzzing or chattering coil, or an open coil winding will keep the unit from starting reliably.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the outdoor disconnect and breaker, then verify zero voltage at the contactor terminals with a multimeter.
Access — Remove the condenser service panel to expose the control compartment.
Document — Photograph all line, load, and 24V coil wiring before disconnecting anything.
Remove — Label and pull the spade connectors, then unscrew the old contactor from its bracket.
Install — Mount the new contactor, reconnect line and load to the matching pole terminals and the 24V leads to the coil per your photo.
Test — Restore power, call for cooling, and confirm the contactor pulls in cleanly with no chatter and the compressor/fan start.
