SOURCE: the compressor doesn't build up any pressure.

AIR FILTER TOTALLY CLOGGED. BROKEN PISTON ROD. MORE LIKELY IT HAS BAD VALVES. BROKEN AND NOT CLOSING ALL THE WAY. PROBABLY HAS A VALVE PLATE UNDER THE HEAD THAT CAN BE REBUILT OR REPLACED. HOPE THIS HELPS. JODY

SOURCE: compressor shuts off before reaching max pressure

Yes,but if the max is 125 you don't want to increase it above 110 and set off the pressure relief valve.

SOURCE: Craftsman air compressor 1 HP 12 gal 125 psi

this is probably an "oilless" compressor, it has "piston" with a thin ring of leatherlike material acting as a piston ring, the "cylinder" is an aluminum sleeve - what usually happens is the cylinder gets scratched from dirt or just wear or the leather ring deteriorates, that's why it will go only so far - the only fix for this is to replace the cylinder and the piston

SOURCE: My compressor will not go

The problem with compressors not building pressure is usually a bad pressure switch or bad regulator. Does the motor shut off at 20psi or does it continue running and not build pressure? If the motor continues to run with no increase in pressure, the you should go over the machine looking for air leaks from your regulator back all the way to the motor. Any air leak while the compressor is running can cause the pressure to "peak" way before the intended shutoff that it is regulated to.

Hi I have a 3HP 200L MatAir compressor model AIR2090. Its about a year old and it suddenly will not fill up above 4 bars (58 psi), what could possibly be the problem

leaking on pressure hose connection or problem CHECKVALVE or pressure relief connection. (under pressostat) if not maybe tighten the cilinder nuts because of a gasket.

Why is my compressor humming every three seconds or so?utive?

sounds like the motor is seized, disconnect power then open the rear cover and use a wrench to free the motor. If the motor spins freely you may have a faulty motor starting capacitor

Craftsman air compressor model 191.135131 wont build pressure

I can not find a Craftsman compressor with that model number anywhere so here are a couple things to look into. If the compressor fills to 70psi and keeps on running check the valve plate and piston/cylinder assemblies. Check that the valve reeds on the valve plate are not bent, broken or warped from heat. Then check that the wiper (oil less) or pistion rings (oil splash) are not damaged and that the cylinder wall is not scarred up. Any of these will let the compressor fill up to the point where the air pressure leaks past the valves or piston and won't fill any further. If the compressor fills to 70psi then shuts off the problem is in the pressure switch. Some have an adjustment screw or bolt to control when it turns on and shuts off. If you had a drop from 100 to 70 the springs may be weak or broke and you'll have to replace the switch.

Ok....My compressor knowledge and terms of parts is very weak...So I will try my best to describe my problem....When I bought the Campbell 8 gallon compressor, and when I started to use it, in the...

The compressor will fill slowly if there is a leak at a fitting or pressure leaking back from the checkvalve. It will also fill slowly if there is a worn / broken reed valve/s and or leaking gasket in the head. Try easy test first. With compressor running and air filter off, spray soapy water on all joints looking for leak (also spray on head of pump to check leaking bolts /gaskets). If leaking, repair as needed. If no leaks are found with soapy water, stop compressor and listen for leak at the pressure switch unloader valve. If no air appears to be leaking from the compressor then most likely problem is with reed valves or gasket in the head. Remove head very carefully trying not to tear gaskets. Examine reed valves for broken parts and or burned /broken gaskets. If gaskets or reed valves are bad, the discharge air tube will be very hot. Repair as needed. Good luck

Compressor fills,drains off a little but won't

sounds like the pressure switch is fused shut, more than likely it needs to be replaced, most single stage pumps should shut off at 125 psi max.

My EC12 builds up pressure, but then releases all but about 10 psi.

The non-return valve is sticking and it's an easy fix. First, for safety, unplug the electric power to the unit and release any pressure in the tanks. Then unscrew the cap of the non-return valve (between the compressor and the tanks). Inside you should find a tapered rubber plug which is probably sticking in the valve housing. Sand down the diameter of the large end of the plug, being careful not to damage the flat face at the narrow end (which is the sealing surface). For sanding try 400 or 600 grade wet-or-dry paper and sand until the plug just moves freely in the housing. Reassemble and the compressor should work. Incidentally it's an oil-type unit, and quite durable. Make sure it has enough oil.
