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 the genuine OEM 2-pole, 30-amp definite-purpose contactor (part #1178074) with a 24-volt control coil for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RHS036L0XB0AAAA heat pump. The contactor is the electrically operated switch that powers the compressor and outdoor fan motor. When the thermostat calls, 24V energizes the coil, pulling the contacts closed and sending line voltage to the compressor and condenser fan. Over years of cycling, the silver contacts pit, burn, and weld, while the coil can fail open — causing no-start, chattering, or a unit that won't shut off because contacts have welded together. A 30A 2-pole contactor is one of the most common condensing-unit failures and a fast, inexpensive fix.

Installation Guide

Access – Remove the condensing unit electrical service panel.
Document – Photograph every line, load, and 24V coil wire before disconnecting.
Remove – Transfer wires one at a time to the new contactor, or label and remove, then unscrew the old contactor from its base.

Test – Restore power and confirm the contactor pulls in on a call and the compressor and fan start cleanly.
