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 genuine OEM definite-purpose contactors switch the high-voltage power to the compressor and condenser fan motor on the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RHS240H0FA0AAAA heat pump. The group covers a 30A 2-pole contactor (1171554), a 40A 3-pole contactor (1172449), and a 60A 3-pole contactor (1183142), all energized by a 24V coil. Each time the thermostat calls, the 24-volt coil pulls the contacts closed to feed line voltage to the outdoor unit. Contactor contacts are a wear item — they pit, weld, and burn over thousands of cycles. A failing contactor causes no-cool/no-heat calls, chattering, or a unit that runs when it should be off. Replacing it with the correct OEM amperage and pole count restores safe, reliable switching.

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.
