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 2-pole definite-purpose contactor for the ICP Tempstar Heil RGS101HTCB0AAA is available in 30-amp (part 1178074) and 40-amp (part 1178211) ratings, both with a 24-volt control coil. The contactor is the high-voltage switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor whenever the thermostat calls for cooling — the 24V coil pulls in the two power poles to deliver line voltage to the load. Contactors are one of the most common failure points in HVAC equipment: pitted or welded contacts cause hard starts, chatter, or a system that won't shut off, while a burned-out coil leaves the unit dead on a cooling call. Choose the amperage that matches your existing contactor.
