Re: A/C Compressor - Please help diagnose (lots of details for experts)

BruthaMan,

It was interesting to read your write up on the AC problem. I believe that you have the assembly and the system figured out and what you wrote will be a help to others.

The belt as mentioned has to be really tight and the quality of the belt is very important. Once the belt has slipped for any length of time it is almost impossible to get it tight enough to drive the compressor so replacement is needed.

Good luck!

Jim
