What amp contactor do I need for my Tempstar system?

The correct replacement for Tempstar model TXH560GKA100 — 2-Pole | Ships Today is this exact part. It is the factory-specified replacement with exact OEM specifications. Using a part with different specifications can cause equipment damage or void your warranty.

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.

Is this contactor compatible with Bryant or Payne systems too?

Many Tempstar parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne systems since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across multiple brand labels with different model numbers. To verify cross-compatibility, check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or contact info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number for confirmation.

Overview

This is the genuine OEM 2-pole 40-amp contactor (part number 1176763) for the Tempstar TXH560GKA100. The contactor is the high-voltage switch that energizes the compressor and condenser fan when the 24V control circuit calls for operation. Its contacts carry heavy current every cycle, so they eventually pit, burn, or weld. A failing contactor causes no-cool/no-heat calls, chattering, or a unit that won't shut off because the contacts have welded closed. Replacing it with a correctly rated 40A OEM contactor restores clean, reliable switching and protects the compressor.

Compatibility

This 2-pole 40A / 24V-coil contactor is a direct OEM fit for the Tempstar TXH560GKA100 and equivalent ICP/Heil/Comfortmaker condensing units that originally used part 1176763. Verify pole count, amp rating, and 24V coil voltage against your existing contactor before installing.

Installation Guide

Safety First — Disconnect power at the outdoor disconnect and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter at the contactor line terminals.
Access — Remove the condenser electrical access panel to expose the contactor.
Document — Photograph all line, load, and 24V coil wire positions before disconnecting.
Remove — Move each wire to the matching terminal on the new contactor one at a time, then unbolt the old contactor from the bracket.
Install — Mount the new contactor and confirm every line, load, and coil connection matches your photos and is fully tightened.
Test — Restore power and confirm the contactor pulls in on a call, the contacts close cleanly, and the unit drops out fully when satisfied.

Signs You Need a Replacement

Compressor and fan won't start even though 24V is present at the coil.
Loud buzzing or chattering at the contactor.
