Overview

This is a genuine OEM single-pole definite purpose contactor (part number 1173690) for the ICP / Heil / Tempstar model WJA348000KTP0A1 condensing unit. The contactor is the electrically operated switch that powers the compressor and condenser fan motor whenever the thermostat calls for cooling. A 24V signal energizes the coil, pulling the 40-amp main contacts closed to feed line voltage to the outdoor unit. Common failure symptoms include a unit that hums but won't start, a chattering or buzzing contactor, pitted or welded contacts that keep the compressor running nonstop, or a completely dead outdoor unit while the indoor blower still runs. Burnt, corroded, or ant-infested contactors are among the most common causes of no-cool service calls.
