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 the genuine OEM definite-purpose contactor for the ICP / Heil / Tempstar RGS240HTEA0AAAA system. The primary unit (part 1171554) is a 2-pole, 30-amp contactor with a 24V coil; 3-pole 40A (1172449) and 3-pole 60A (1183142) variants are also available for the same platform. A contactor is the heavy-duty switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan when the 24V control circuit calls for cooling. The low-voltage coil pulls the contacts closed, passing line voltage to the high-amp loads. Over time the contact points pit, arc, and weld, or the coil burns open — leaving the system unable to start or, worse, stuck running. Buzzing, chattering, and visibly burnt or pitted contacts are the classic indicators that a contactor has reached the end of its service life.

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.
