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 listing covers the genuine OEM definite-purpose contactors for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS240HTFA0AAAA, available in three coil-matched ratings: 2-pole 30A (part 1171554), 3-pole 40A (part 1172449), and 3-pole 60A (part 1183142) — all with a 24V control coil. A contactor is the high-voltage switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan whenever the thermostat closes a 24V call for cooling. The low-voltage coil pulls the contacts closed to pass line voltage to the load. Over time the contacts pit and burn, the coil weakens, or the contactor chatters and welds shut — causing no-cooling calls, a compressor that won't start, or a unit that won't shut off. Select the rating that matches your existing contactor.

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.
