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 are the OEM contactors for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS243HTAA0AAAA unit, covering the 2-pole 30A (1171554), 3-pole 40A (1172449), and 3-pole 60A (1183142) options. A contactor is the electrically operated switch that closes on a 24-volt control signal to pass line voltage to the compressor and condenser fan motor. Each cycle the contacts open and close under load, so they eventually pit, weld, or fail to pull in. A bad contactor is one of the most common no-cool callbacks: the unit may not start at all, may buzz without engaging, or may run continuously because the contacts have welded shut. All three options use a 24 VAC coil with the amperage and pole count matched to the unit's load.

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.
