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 definite purpose contactor is the switching relay that energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor in your ICP / Heil / Tempstar RGS214HEAA0AAAA unit. When the thermostat calls for cooling, the 24V control coil pulls the contacts closed, sending line voltage to the high-amperage loads. It is offered in two OEM configurations for this model: part 1171554 (2-pole, 30 amp) and part 1172449 (3-pole, 40 amp). Contactors are a high-wear item — the contacts arc every cycle and eventually pit, burn, or weld. Common failure symptoms include a unit that won't start, a loud chattering or buzzing hum, contacts that stick closed (compressor runs continuously), or visible pitting and black scorching on the contact pads.
