Overview

This OEM 2-pole definite purpose contactor is the primary switching relay for the ICP/Heil/Tempstar RHS090H0AB0AAAA heat pump condensing unit. Its 24-volt coil, energized by the thermostat, closes the line-voltage contacts to power the compressor and condenser fan motor. Supplied as OEM parts 1178074 (30A) and 1178211 (40A), it carries the full inrush and running load of the outdoor unit. A failing contactor produces no-start conditions, buzzing or chattering, and units that won't shut off — all from pitted, welded, or burned contacts and a worn coil.

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.
