My coleman powermate inflationmate electric air compressor won't start

    Dnt know where the fuse is

  • Mark " nailer guy" Mar 25, 2019

    the fuse should be on the back of the compressor its fairly small and could be as easy as push back in. but does it hum when turned on or plugged in? did you try plugging it in and rocking the switch to on and off a few times to make sure it wasn't a sticky switch. and does it hum if it hums then its not a fuse may just be stuck and can be unstuck too. let me know what you find please.

Check it over and look for the motor and make sure the fuse has not popped out. it will do that for many reasons but mostly if not enough power is available when running or ran too long and got hot.

  • Mark " nailer guy" Mar 25, 2019

    the fuse should be on the back cover, its more like a button that you would have to simply push in again. would be about the size of a screw head. if not you may have to take cover off. what is the complete symptoms of not starting. does it hum or anything. A hum will indicate that it is not a fuse and something else.

Use a 15 amp 'time delay fuse'. Any time you start a motor, the inrush current will blow a regular fuse. Motors pull high current to start then drop to normal after 1 or two seconds. The time delay will fix it up!

Coleman Powermate VP201 will not go above 40 lbs.

Hi mjschulte815

Here are a few things to check, you may have already checked some of these.

Electricity...Compressors will run best with full 115Vot 15AMP/Or 220V electrical supply from a circuit, over the shortest electrical cord as possible.

Air Leaks..Place your ear close to the compressor and listen for air leaking, if you hear air that is not normal and means you have to locate and repair whatever it is that is leaking.
Check the air unloader valve... The air unloader valve will blown out air when you turned off the compressor, that is normal.
But it should not have air leaking out of it all of the time. If so then it is faulty and in need of repair/replacement.

Valves...If either the intake or exaust valves fail, breaks, or fails to seat, then your compressor will run 24 hours a day and never build up to the correct pressure for shut-off.

Gaskets...Check to see if your gaskets have failed.
You could have a gasket failure between the pistons and you will never know it because it shows no external air leak.
If this situation happens then the air will only cycle between cylinders and never build up the correct air pressure.
One way to check the gasket is remove the air filter, then put your hand over the intake.
Please take time to rate me

If correct then it will **** you hand against the intake.
If the valve or valves have failed then you will feel the air sucking in and blowing out.

Piston Rings and Cylinder...The piston rings could be stuck,broken, or worn and not allowing the correct pressure to build up in your tank.
A worn cylinder will also contribute to the problem of pressure build-up.

Pressure Switch...Check for air leaks at the pressure switch, it has a rubber diaphram that can fail and leak air out of the system.
Please take time to rate me

Hi

Keep it simple, have you pushed the reset button?

Ther may also be a master push / pull switch on the switch housing.

Coleman 11 gallon air compressor wont start

Sometimes the initial start up with the tank at 0 psi electric power is adequate. However when the tank is full or the garage is cold it is a bigger load for start up. Check your overload (reset button) and breaker. If 220 volts one side of the breaker could be tripped without showing.
