A/C Compressor Clutch Replacement
Where fitted, the compressor clutch connects the belt drive to the refrigerant compression mechanism. Failure to engage can involve the coil, air gap, power supply or a control-system inhibit. We check these causes and the compressor itself before replacement; a new clutch will not repair a seized compressor. Installation includes component compatibility, seating and adjustment to the unit's requirements. Final checks cover engagement, rotation and abnormal noise from the drive.
Symptoms
- The clutch fails to engage despite the correct control input.
- Clutch noise or slipping.
What's included
- Check clutch control and compressor condition.
- Remove the faulty clutch components.
- Fit and adjust the parts according to the design.
- Check engagement, rotation and drive noise.
