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 (part #1178074) for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RHS120S0BB0AAA heat pump. The contactor is the electromechanical switch that energizes the compressor and outdoor fan motor whenever the thermostat calls for cooling or heating. Rated for 30 amps per pole with a 24-volt control coil, it carries the high-voltage load to the compressor while being safely triggered by the low-voltage control circuit. A failed contactor is one of the single most common no-cool/no-heat service calls — the contacts pit, burn, or weld together from arcing and continuous cycling, leaving the unit either dead or unable to shut off.

Compatibility

Engineered for the ICP RHS120S0BB0AAA heat pump and shared across many ICP-family condensing units and heat pumps (Heil, Tempstar, Comfortmaker, Arcoaire) that use a 2-pole 30A definite purpose contactor with a 24V coil. Always confirm the original part number and coil voltage against your existing component before installing.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the outdoor disconnect and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter before touching any terminals.
Access — Remove the condensing unit's electrical service panel.
Document — Photograph every wire and terminal location before disconnecting anything.
Remove — Note the line, load, and 24V coil wiring, then unscrew the mounting screws and lift out the old contactor.
Install — Mount the new contactor and transfer each wire to the matching terminal per your photo.
Test — Restore power and confirm the contactor pulls in on a call and drops out cleanly when satisfied.

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.
