Need part for central pnuematic 1.5 hp 6 gal air compressor

  • Scott Mar 29, 2019

    You can only source these parts VIA Harbor Freight. They don't like selling you parts to fix your stuff.

    They want you to buy the extended service warranty or throw it away and buy a new one.

    Look up the "right to repair" bill in your area and contact your congressman and legislation to support this bill.

Central does not provide any parts.
Sometimes you can find generic parts to work (pressure switches, unloaders, gauges, etc)

SOURCE: portable air compressor wont turn on

1st check for power at the pressure switch. Take the cover of the switch and make sure you have line voltage at the terminals from the wall outlet.
if no voltage>replace cord or plug end with proper gauge wire.
If voltage, then, while you have the cover off of the switch **Make sure it is not plugged in** and operate the on off switch and visually check the operation of the switch. You should see some flat copper terminals that, when the switch is turned on, kinda rotate and drop onto some other copper terminals. The connection is kinda like points on a old car ignition, little pads on each copper thingie contact each other. I have seen these little pads become pitted and burnt from arcing. Try to clean these with a small file or pick if they are corroded. Get some electrical contact cleaner and clean the switch completely, *it is not only electrical, but is also mechanical*. Switches will intermittantly work, replace the whole pressure switch if there is heavy wear, charring or working intermittantly.
If this is all good, check the wires coming out of the switch for power to the motor, replace if necessary. If this is ok..
You probably have a bad motor. I have not had much success in revitalizing motors, its usually better to just replace it.

SOURCE: Husky m1506f Air compressor will not turn on

Look for a reset circuit breaker button on or near the compressor motor. It might be black in color.

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: what kind of oil do i need for a craftman 1 hp 3

For warm climate, use 30wt non detergent oil (lowest price $3). Med priced oil ($5), use compessor oil sold at Lowes or any major center store including Wal Mart. Compressor oil is special blend for higher temperature range (continuous use). High price oil, synthetic compressor oil works for heavy duty use under severe conditions (also sold at major lumber centers, cost about $8~18).
For lite duty, any oil that you have handy will work fine (check oil before every use). Good luck

My central pnuematic 3gal. 100 psi 1/3 running mp air compressor stop running, what could the problem be?

Let it cool down and see if it will restart. The brushes could be worn. Tap the motor while pressing the start button. If it goes, then that is what the problem is.

Craftsman Air Comp. 6 hp oil-less, 33 gal horz. tank - sounds really loud

Some of the craftsmen compressors have pistons that are coated on the top of the dome. Once the coating wears off, they have severe loud piston slap. If you continue to run it the way it is, it will snap the connecting rod in half or break the piston and possibly the cylinder.

I have a 3 gal 1 hp air compressor and it will only build pressure to 27 lbs.

If it makes hesitation sounds just before shutting off, you need to oil the compressor as per the manual. This is the most common problem.
If it is kicking on and off normally, you need to adjust the pressure relay. The instructions are under the cover.

AIR VOLUME REQUIRED

You need to look at the tool cfm requirements because they are posted on the package or usually in the ads. Your compressor will run the sander, just how long at a time will depend upon your tool's cfm. Rick
