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 is a genuine OEM 2-pole definite-purpose contactor for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS121HSAB0AAAA furnace and matched condensing unit. The contactor is the electromechanical relay that switches line voltage to the compressor and outdoor fan motor whenever the thermostat calls for cooling. A 24-volt control coil pulls in two poles to complete the high-voltage circuit. This listing covers both the 30-amp version (OEM 1178074) and the 40-amp version (OEM 1178211) so you can match the exact ampere rating printed on your old contactor. A failing contactor is among the most common no-cool causes — look for a buzzing outdoor unit, contacts welded shut so the compressor never shuts off, or pitted contacts that block startup entirely.
