Overview
This OEM single-pole definite purpose contactor (part #1172472) is the switching relay that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor in your ICP/Heil/Tempstar WCH3482GKA1 heat pump. When the thermostat calls for cooling or heating, the 24V control circuit energizes the contactor coil, closing the contacts to send line voltage to the compressor. Rated for 30 amps with a 24-volt coil and an integrated shunt, it is built to handle the high inrush current of compressor startup cycle after cycle. Common failure symptoms include a unit that hums but won't start, pitted or welded contacts that stick closed (leaving the compressor running constantly), chattering, or a buzzing sound from the contactor. Burned contacts are one of the most frequent causes of no-cool service calls.
