Identify Faulty Contactor by 'Chatter'

What happens here

After confirming proper voltage to the unit, if the HVAC system still isn't operating, the next step is to check the contactor for signs of failure. A key indicator of a failing contactor is a distinct "chattering" sound, which occurs when the internal contacts are struggling to make a solid connection. This sound suggests that the contactor is worn out or experiencing a low voltage issue at its coil, indicating it needs to be replaced.

Goal: Determine if the contactor is failing based on audible cues.
