Hi,

The clutch itself won't spin. The pulley runs on a bearing and turns freely until power is supplied to the clutch coil. The clutch coil is an electromagnet that draws a clutch tight against the pulley which then engages and turns the compressor.

When you get the new one installed, if it works (and I hope it does), great. If it doesn't, then we need to make sure it is getting power to the clutch coil to engage the compressor.

Let me know if you have questions or if there is anything I can do to help.

Take care,

Joe
