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

Genuine OEM definite-purpose contactors for the ICP / Tempstar / Heil RGS213HRAA0AAAA system, available as a 2-pole 30A unit (part 1171554) and a 3-pole 40A unit (part 1172449), both with a 24V coil. A contactor is the high-current switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor whenever the 24V control circuit calls for cooling. The low-voltage coil pulls the contacts closed, sending line voltage to the outdoor unit; when the call ends, a spring opens them again.

Contactors are one of the most common HVAC failure points because the contacts arc every time they open and close. Over thousands of cycles they pit, burn, and weld. Symptoms include an outdoor unit that hums but will not start, a compressor that runs nonstop because contacts welded shut, chattering at the contactor, or visibly burned/pitted contact faces. Replacing a worn contactor restores clean switching and protects the compressor from low-voltage and chatter damage.

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.
