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 a genuine OEM single-pole definite purpose contactor (P/N 1172472) for the Tempstar T4H430GKB200 heat pump. Rated 30 amps with a 24-volt coil and an integrated shunt, the contactor is the electromechanical switch that energizes the compressor and outdoor fan motor whenever the thermostat calls for cooling or heating. When 24V is applied to the coil, the magnetic field pulls the contacts closed and sends line voltage to the condensing unit. Contactors wear out from arcing, pitting, and chattering — common symptoms include a unit that won't start, a buzzing or humming outdoor unit, welded contacts that keep the compressor running, or visible burning and corrosion on the contact points.
