Extruder gears just click and won't load filament
After upgrading my i3 2s to 2.5, I can't load the filament. The gears just click and the filament won't move down.
The nozzle is not clogged as I can push the filament down with my hand and it comes right out of the nozzle. The gears spin correctly when no filament is between them.

Re: Extruder gears just click and won't load filament
Looks like the rear gear axle is not fully engaging the two shaft ears, and the gear isn't where it should be; catching on things or not meshing with the driven gear. This is a known issue on some MK3 printers. But I might be seeing movement from the door not being tied down.
If you open the idler door, do you still get clicking? If yes, you might have a broken motor wire somewhere in the bundle.
