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 contactor kit covers the 24V definite-purpose contactors used in the ICP/Tempstar/Heil RHS240L0AA0AAAA heat pump: a 2-pole 30-amp (part 1171554), a 3-pole 40-amp (part 1172449), and a 3-pole 60-amp (part 1183374). The contactor is the high-voltage switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan whenever the 24V control circuit calls. Pitted, welded, or burned contacts are one of the most common causes of a no-cool/no-heat outdoor unit — the fan and compressor either won't start or won't shut off. Each contactor here uses a 24V coil and is a direct OEM-spec replacement.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the breaker and verify zero voltage with a multimeter; the contactor switches line voltage.
Access — Remove the electrical-section service panel.
Document — Photograph all line, load, and 24V coil connections before disconnecting.
Remove — Transfer wires one at a time, or label each, then unbolt the old contactor.
Install — Mount the matching new contactor and reconnect each lead exactly per your photo.
Test — Restore power, make a call, and confirm the contactor pulls in cleanly and the compressor and fan start.

Signs You Need a Replacement

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.
