What amp contactor do I need for my Tempstar system?

The correct replacement for Tempstar model TSA624GKA100 — 30A 24V w/ Shunt | 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. You can verify this by checking the data plate on your Tempstar equipment which lists the model number TSA624GKA100 — 30A 24V w/ Shunt | Ships Today.

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 OEM single-pole definite purpose contactor (part number 1172472) for the Tempstar TSA624GKA100 condensing unit. Rated at 30 amps with a 24V coil and an integrated shunt, this contactor is the electrical switch that energizes the compressor and outdoor fan whenever the thermostat calls for cooling. The 24V control signal pulls in the contacts, sending line voltage to the unit. Over time the contact points pit, burn, and weld from arcing, while the coil can fail open. Symptoms include a unit that won't start, a chattering or buzzing contactor, or a system that keeps running after the call for cooling ends because the contacts have welded shut. Replacing it with the correct OEM-rated contactor restores reliable, safe switching.
