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 definite-purpose contactor is the electromechanical switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor on your ICP/Heil/Tempstar RHS240S0CA0AAAA heat pump. When the thermostat calls for cooling or heating, the 24V control coil pulls the contacts closed, sending line voltage to the outdoor unit. Contactors are one of the most common failure points in any condensing unit — the contacts pit, burn, and weld from the constant high-amperage arcing every cycle. This listing covers the OEM contactor family used on this model, including 2-pole 30A, 3-pole 40A, and 3-pole 60A configurations (part numbers 1171554, 1172449, 1183374) so you can match the exact amp rating and pole count in your unit.

Compatibility

Engineered for the ICP/Heil/Tempstar RHS240S0CA0AAAA heat pump condenser and shared across many RHS-series 2-ton outdoor units. Verify your existing contactor's pole count and amp rating before ordering — match 2-pole 30A, 3-pole 40A, or 3-pole 60A to your unit.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the outdoor disconnect and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter across the line terminals.
Access — Remove the condenser service panel to expose the control compartment.
Document — Photograph all wire positions on the existing contactor before disconnecting.
Remove — Label and disconnect line, load, and 24V coil wires, then unscrew the old contactor from the mounting bracket.
Install — Mount the new contactor and reconnect each wire exactly per your photo.
Test — Restore power, call for cooling, and confirm the contacts pull in and the compressor and fan start.

Signs You Need a Replacement

Is this contactor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?

Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my ICP contactor?
