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 OEM 1-pole, 25-amp definite purpose contactor (OEM part #1173689) is the factory switching component for the ICP/Tempstar/Heil WPA3362000RKB1 condensing unit. The contactor is the electrically operated switch that closes to send line voltage to the compressor and condenser fan motor whenever the 24-volt control circuit calls for cooling. When the thermostat closes, 24V energizes the coil, the magnetic field pulls the contacts together, and full line voltage passes to the load. Over thousands of cycles the contacts arc and pit, raising resistance and generating heat until the compressor struggles to start or stops energizing entirely. A buzzing, chattering, or welded contactor is one of the most frequent no-cooling failures, and replacing it restores clean, low-resistance switching that protects the compressor.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the disconnect and breaker, then verify zero voltage at the contactor terminals with a multimeter.
Access — Remove the condensing unit's electrical access panel.
Document — Photograph all line, load, and 24V coil connections before disconnecting.
Remove — Transfer the wires off the old contactor one terminal at a time, then unbolt it from the bracket.
Install — Mount the new 1173689 contactor and reconnect the line, load, and 24V coil leads exactly per your photo.
Test — Restore power, call for cooling, and verify the contactor pulls in cleanly with the compressor and fan energizing.

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.
