Lololol........ This is a bromance free zone

 

 

Hey everyone i just replaced my a/c belt since it poped. When i was finished i noticed the front of the a/c compressor is not spinnin with the piece that has the belt going... Is this normal?? It spins randomly and stops and spins again...? I also touched it a bit and its very hot! Any input???

 

Im new to all this that is why i am asking not trying to sound stupid.....

 

It's just the ac clutch.. basically a/c compressor clutch is the round thing on the front of the compressor with pulley wheel attached. This clutch is an electro magnetic clutch that when electricity is supplied, engages so as the a/c compressor is driven ,which can then pump freon through the ac system.

 

That's normal. Just means your AC is on. Everything else is good?

 

Oh ok. But mine will spin randomly even with a/c off and its making a wierd noise?..

 

is it like a clicking noise? If so, still normal. as long as its not squealing like a dog that just got hit by a car then youre good.

 

Oh and my a/c is not throwing cold air:/

 

Oh and my a/c is not throwing cold air:/... I emptied out all the air to recharge it and the front started to spin again??.. Then i refilled it and it stoped doing random spins still no cold air... Is my compressor out???

 

Take it to a AC shop. By the sounds of it you had the can that you buy from pep boys. Get it checked, the right way to refill is evacuate, then at least 30 minutes vacuum to remove moisture, and then inject oil, and then recharge and add dye to see if there's any leaks, but you need an AC machine for that. Also if there is still no cold air see if your ac clutch has a fuse. But AC is very technical, you have to look at pressures low side and high side. Hope this helps.

 

Thnks for your reply... I also noticed there rubbing metal like noise coming from the compressor.is that suppose to happen?

 

No, possible compressor bearing

 

Could a bad bearing affect the a/c not working??

 

Ya seized clutch.
