GE PROFILE CLUTCH CLIP PLACEMENT

Pull a relay out and use paper clip to jump. Usually cross corner. Watch compressor clutch and see if engages when key is turn ahead. Don't start car. If it does good. Now take alligator clips and check relay. Clip each wire to negative and positive battery post. Then clip negative to negative relay pin. And touch positive to correct pin. If it doesn't click do it another relay so you know your doing it right. If determined relay is good. And your compressor clutch did engage when testing it. You are low on freon.

Look on the underside of the clutch perch (mount).
There's an "E" clip on the end of the pivot pin.

Remove this clip, and you can push pivot pin up and out of the clutch lever/mounting.

Its more than you think. 1. Inspect for a broken retaining clip by removing the valve body and then the valve body separator plate. Inspect the forward clutch control valve, spring, retaining clip, and valve body casting for damage (Figure 1).

2. If the clip is broken and the forward clutch control valve and/or valve body casting is damaged, replace the main control. The retaining clip has just been revised to prevent the chance of breakage. The revised Retaining Clip (F8DZ-7F194-AA) has circular cutouts on the side of the clip in place of the square cutouts on the previous design level clip (Figure 2).

3. Inspect the new main control (if required) before installing it and replace this retaining clip for the forward clutch control valve and spring if it's not the new design (Figure 2).

4. Any time service is required on any AX4N transaxle main control, inspect the retaining clip for the forward clutch control valve to be sure it is the latest design level, and replace the retaining clip if it is not. The revised clip is larger and will remain centered in the valve body casting groove. too repair estimate..400-800 dollars...Hope this help..Big shops will hurt yo pockets

only one on this that I know of, it holds the clutch housing together, oopps.

One common problem area is the clutch assembly. The clutch is built on top of the motor, the motor drives the clutch and the clutch assembly drives the rest of the washer. The clutch gets very noisy when parts inside are worn out. The shoes lining that drives the inner drum of the clutch wear off and you will get a metal on metal sound. Clutches often can be rebuilt, but sometimes they are too worn and replacing the whole clutch is the best repair. Please use this link here for clutch replace and repair info. The belt and pump may be the next items to check for noises. How to access the washer. Clutch repair help.

Actually, you just need to place the belt around the motor pulley and get it started around the larger pulley and move the belt clockwise while keeping it on the larger pulley. it will self thread onto the large pulley as you spin it.

Good Luck!

if the motor is spinning properly and you don't get any burning smell while the machine is in spin mode.then no need to replace the motor.only replace the clutch.this will help.motor goes bad very rarely in this units. ------------- for parts you can get it from ---- www.repairclinic.com ------- thanks.
