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.

Overview

This OEM 2-pole, 40-amp definite purpose contactor (OEM 1178211) is the high-current switch that powers the compressor and condenser fan motor on your ICP/Heil/Tempstar RGS091HRCB0AAA packaged unit. A 24V control coil energizes on a cooling call, pulling the contacts closed to feed line voltage to the loads. As one of the most frequently cycled components, the contactor's contacts pit and erode over time. Symptoms of failure include a unit that won't start, buzzing or chattering at the relay, or contacts that weld closed and leave the compressor running continuously.

My AC clicks but the compressor won’t turn on. What’s wrong?

Clicking from the outdoor unit without the compressor starting = worn contactor. The contactor sends power to the compressor. When its contacts are pitted, it clicks but can’t make solid contact. Look for: visible pitting/burn marks on the contactor face, intermittent operation, or buzzing.

Is this contactor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?

Many ICP parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.

Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my ICP contactor?

OEM recommended for reliability and warranty compatibility. OEM parts match exact factory specifications for proper fit, performance, and safety. While aftermarket alternatives cost less upfront, the risk of improper fit and reduced lifespan usually makes OEM the better value long-term.
