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 single-pole definite purpose contactor (part number 1172472) is the electrically controlled switch that powers the compressor and condenser fan on your ICP/Heil/Tempstar WCA3484GKA3 air conditioning unit. When the thermostat calls for cooling, the 24V control circuit energizes the contactor coil, pulling the contacts closed to deliver line voltage to the compressor and outdoor fan motor. This contactor is rated for 30 amps, uses a 24-volt coil, and includes a shunt for reliable load handling. A failed contactor is one of the most common reasons an outdoor unit won't start: pitted or welded contacts, a burned-out coil, or chattering all point to replacement. Symptoms include a humming outdoor unit that never starts, intermittent cooling, or a unit that runs continuously because the contacts have welded shut.

Compatibility

Directly fits the ICP/Tempstar/Heil WCA3484GKA3 condensing unit. As a genuine OEM replacement, part 1172472 also services many related ICP-family WCA-series air conditioners that use a 1-pole 30A 24V contactor. Always verify your existing contactor's pole count, amp rating, and coil voltage against the failed unit before installing.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the outdoor disconnect and the breaker. Verify zero voltage across the contactor terminals with a multimeter before touching any wiring.
Access — Remove the condenser service/electrical panel to expose the contactor.
Document — Take a clear photo of every wire and terminal position before disconnecting anything.
Remove — Label and disconnect the line, load, and 24V coil wires, then unscrew the old contactor from its mounting bracket.
Install — Mount the new 1172472 contactor and reconnect each wire to the matching terminal per your photo.
Test — Restore power and call for cooling; confirm the contacts pull 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.
