Compressor Contactor
The contactor acts as the electromechanical gate for high-voltage power to reach the compressor. Over time, the contacts can pit, carbonize, or weld, preventing the compressor from engaging even when the control board sends a 24V signal. This results in the condenser fan running while the compressor remains dormant, halting the refrigeration cycle.

Inverter Control Board
The RA20 uses an inverter drive to convert AC power into variable DC pulses for the compressor. Thermal fatigue or electrical surges can damage the Intelligent Power Module (IPM) on this board, leading to a failure to drive the compressor rotor despite the rest of the system being powered. This is a common high-end electronic failure mode in variable-speed HVAC systems.

Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV) Coil
The EEV coil uses a stepper motor to precisely control refrigerant flow into the evaporator. If the electromagnetic windings in the coil fail or short, the valve may remain stuck in the closed position. This creates a total restriction in the refrigerant circuit, meaning the compressor may run, but no thermal energy is moved from the home.
