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

These are the genuine OEM 2-pole, 24V-coil contactors for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS180HFAA0AAAA equipment — available as a 30 Amp version (part #1178074) and a 40 Amp version (part #1178211). A contactor is an electrically controlled switch: the thermostat energizes the 24V coil, which pulls the contacts closed to deliver line voltage to the compressor and condenser fan motor. Contactors are high-wear items — their contacts pit, burn, and weld over thousands of cycles. Symptoms of failure include a system that won't start, a humming or chattering contactor, contacts that stick closed (unit runs continuously), or buzzing on a call for cooling.

Is this contactor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?

Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my ICP contactor?
