belt loose or the tensioner pulley has gone bad if it didnt stop squealing you now need a new belt and a pulley.. they are known to lock up easy to fix and not real high price for either… a can do at home thing

I would check your tensioner pulley.

The a/c should have added an additional strain on the belt which might indicate more noise. Try oiling the tension pulley and see if that may help. If it doesn’t, then you may need to try a different belt.

Try rubbing soap on the belt while it is running. But be very careful of the fan.

New belts (any piece of equipment, any type belt, any pulleys) will stretch as they age. The belt tension should be checked and adjusted as needed on a regular basis. If the belt is slipping (the squealing noise), it will wear out very quickly if not adjusted, and you’ll have to spend more money for a new one.

Sounds like the bearing in the a/c clutch assembly is going out.

The problem maybe the a.c. compressor clutch.

maybe all it needs is tightened.
