Overview

This is the genuine OEM 2-pole definite purpose contactor for the ICP / Heil / Tempstar RGS121HFAB0AAAA system, available in 30 amp (part 1178074) and 40 amp (part 1178211) ratings, both with a 24-volt control coil. The contactor is the electrically controlled switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor whenever the thermostat calls for cooling. When the 24V coil is energized, the magnetic field pulls the contacts closed and delivers line voltage to the load; when the call ends, the contacts open. Pitted, welded, or chattering contacts are one of the most common HVAC failures and cause no-cool calls, hard starts, and buzzing at the unit.

Compatibility

Fits the ICP/Heil/Tempstar RGS121HFAB0AAAA and other units on the same platform that use a 2-pole, 24V-coil contactor. Match the amperage (30A or 40A) and terminal layout to your original before installing.

Installation Guide

  1. Safety First — Disconnect power at the unit disconnect and breaker. Verify zero voltage with a multimeter across the line terminals.
  2. Access — Remove the electrical service panel on the condensing unit.
  3. Document — Photograph every wire on the line, load, and coil terminals before disconnecting.
  4. Remove — Label and remove the wires, then unscrew the old contactor from its mounting.
  5. Install — Mount the new contactor, transfer the wires terminal-for-terminal per your photo, and confirm the coil leads are on the 24V terminals.
  6. Test — Restore power, call for cooling, and confirm the contacts pull in cleanly with no chatter and correct compressor/fan operation.

Signs You Need a Replacement

  • Loud buzzing or chattering at the contactor when cooling is called
  • Burned, pitted, or welded contacts that stick closed or fail to close
  • Compressor and fan won't start even with a good 24V signal

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Contactor fit my ICP RGS121HFAB0AAAA — 30A / 40A 24V Coil | Ships Today?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM contactor for the ICP RGS121HFAB0AAAA — 30A / 40A 24V Coil | Ships Today. It is a direct drop-in replacement that fits without modification. Always verify the model number on your equipment nameplate before ordering.
How do I replace the contactor on my ICP RGS121HFAB0AAAA — 30A / 40A 24V Coil | Ships Today?
Difficulty: Medium (30–45 min)
Step 1: Turn off breaker. Step 2: Open condensing unit panel. Step 3: Photograph ALL wiring on the contactor. Step 4: Label each wire with tape. Step 5: Disconnect wires and remove old contactor. Step 6: Mount new contactor, reconnect wires matching your photo. Step 7: Restore power and test.
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.
How fast does National HVAC Parts ship?
