Some common causes for clutch failure: 1. Bearing failure. 2. Air Gap: Between the outer plate (hub) and the belt/rotor (.016 -. 030 inch) Note! Air gap varies with compressor type – check OEM specs. 3. Shorted Coil – Due to improper polarity or weak/burnt winding. 4. Low voltage at coil will cause coil to overheat due to slippage. 5. Locked Compressor: Excessive discharge pressure – Check for restricted condensers, receiver/driers or an oil over charge 6. Belt is wrong type, wrong size, miss-aligned or loose.
