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 genuine ICP contactor kit covers the RHS183L0AA0AAAA with the 2-pole 30A 24V contactor (part 1171554) and the 3-pole 40A 24V contactor (part 1172449, S). The contactor is the electrically operated switch that closes the high-voltage circuit to the compressor and condenser fan whenever the thermostat sends a 24V call. Pitted, burned, or welded contacts are one of the most common HVAC failures — they cause the unit to fail to start, chatter, hum, or stay running after the call ends. Both contactors carry a 24V coil; the 2-pole 30A switches lighter loads while the 3-pole 40A handles the full compressor and fan 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.
