Overview

This is a genuine OEM 2-pole, 40-amp definite purpose contactor (OEM part number 1176763) for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil WCA3602GKA1 air conditioning condensing unit. The contactor is an electrically operated switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor whenever the thermostat calls for cooling. Its 24-volt coil pulls the contacts closed, allowing line voltage to pass through to the high-amperage components. Over years of service the contact points pit, burn, and corrode from repeated arcing, which leads to chattering, dropped voltage, and eventually a unit that hums but will not start. Replacing a worn contactor restores a clean, solid electrical connection and protects the compressor from low-voltage damage.
