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 OEM definite-purpose contactor is the electrical switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor on your ICP Tempstar Heil RHS183H0BA0AAAA heat pump. When the thermostat calls for cooling or heating, the 24-volt control coil pulls in the contactor, closing the line-voltage contacts that feed power to the outdoor unit. This listing covers the 2-pole, 30-amp contactor (OEM part 1171554) as well as the upgraded 3-pole, 40-amp contactor (OEM part 1172449) used on higher-load configurations. A contactor that is pitted, chattering, or welded shut is one of the most common reasons an outdoor unit will not start, runs continuously, or trips the breaker.

Is this contactor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?

Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my ICP contactor?
