This demonstration guide answers one field question about an end that will not hold voltage after AVR replacement. Measurements come before parts, and the notes are not a generic equipment FAQ.
Diagnose before replacing parts
Start with loaded voltage after AVR service. That reading separates an end that will not hold voltage after AVR replacement from adjacent faults that share the same complaint.
If the measurement is out of spec, treat the generator end as the primary path. If it is in spec, do not replace the generator end just to complete a parts list.
Repair the failed system
The usual correction is the generator end, installed to the documented spec for this complaint.
A demonstration shop records the finding so the next technician is not repeating a guess about an end that will not hold voltage after AVR replacement.
Stop before you make it worse
Do not converting a dead end into a "parts engine" while leaving wiring live. That shortcut hides the original measurement and creates a second failure.
If the machine still fails after the generator end is corrected, convert the visit to a broader diagnosis rather than stacking parts.
