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 single-pole contactor (part 1173690) rated 40 amps with a 24V coil is the main switching relay for the ICP Tempstar Heil WPG4604115LKA1 packaged unit. When the thermostat calls for cooling, the 24V control signal energizes the coil, pulling the contacts closed to deliver line voltage to the compressor and condenser fan motor. As a high-current switching component, contactors wear out from arcing and pitting on the contacts over thousands of cycles. A failing contactor causes hard starts, chattering, or a complete failure to energize the outdoor unit. Replacing it is one of the most common and effective HVAC service repairs.

Is this contactor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?

Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my ICP contactor?
