I have a pancake compressor C2002. Have had it several years now without any issues. However, Saturday I was using the air sprayer to clean offsome wood work and noticed it kept running, the pressure dropped to 60 PSI and did not seem to want to pressure up. I let cool down and tried again the next day. It just ran and did not pressure up. The gauges did not move.
Anu ideas what this might be?
Check for leaks of course... THEN check the check valve AND the Compression Relief valve which is OFTEN cintained in teh pressure switch. This valve bleeds the compression left in the head so the thing can restart without a pressure load. This is a small pintle that closes when the pressure switch starts the compressor. The check valve is the other thing and it is often a part of either the head or the pressure line to the tank at the tank.
