The pressure switch contacts seem welded together, inspect and verify. Replace the switch as necessary. How? Get a compatible replacement, disconnect it electrical and plumbing, remove and replace accordingly, use thread sealer.

What? If it won't shut off when it trips the limit valve. You need to replace the pressure switch.

SOURCE: Air compressor head gasket diagram

Campbell hausfeld has all their manuals on line at www.chpower.com / you can enter the model # of the whole unit or just the # of the pump. Also you can enter just a partial number example wl650 for a list of models is that range. Use caution when installing gaskets for chpower oiless pumps. Some of their gaskets are very brittle. After installing parts, turn pump by hand to make sure all parts are in their proper place and that there is suction. Enjoy

SOURCE: Mastercraft 2.0 hp air compressor will not build up over 25 psi

sounds like a bad or broken valves in the head. crankcase needs a vent which is sometimes a small hole drilled into the oil fill plug and will normally blow some air out the vent while it runs

SOURCE: Dewalt 4 gal air compressor will not build pressure in take.

The bleed valve is an unloader of sorts that allows the compressor to start with-out a load. It closes when the pressure in the airline reaches about 20-25lbs with good volume. If air volume is not sufficient, the valve will not close. To solve the problem lets do a few tests. A long cord will reduce power and reduce air volume. Try powering the compressor with-out extension cord. If bleed valve closes when you do not use a cord, the compressor is not getting enough voltage, use shorter cord of the 12 gauge quality and more hose to reach work. If valve still does not close, check for air leaks on all fittings including around pressure switch and drain valve with soapy water. Repair as necessary and retest. If no leaks were found, temporarily plug bleed valve port with screw/bolt and run compressor till set pressure cut-off while counting minuites/seconds. The compressor should fill and shut off within three minutes or so. If it takes an unusually long time to fill, then the reed valves /valve plate is worn and leaking pressure back into cylinger. Leaking valves will usually result in very hot discharge airline/air. Reinstall the bleed valve after test. Parts and partslist are available at www.toolpartsdirect.com . Good luck on the repair and email if you have other questions.

SOURCE: Campbell Hausfeld Air Compressor won't start

The compressor starting problem is common to most of the small portable compressors. Poor design and undersized components are to blame. If you have one of these units i suggest looking into a product called the Smart Start by Conrader Valves. It is interchangeable with the standard air filters and allows the compressor to start without fail. check it out- www.conrader.com.

Dewalt D55168 225 PSI Air compressor: What are the preset pressure limits for this model? Is it actually 225 - 180?

https://www.manualslib.com/manual/494085/Dewalt-D55168.html

Specifncations
MODEL D55168
WEIGHT 88 Ibs. (39.92 kg)
HEIGHT 41.75" (1060.5mm)
WIDTH 19.0" (4826 mm)
LENGTH 21.25 (539.8 ram)
AIRTANK CAPACITY (GALLONS) 15 Gallon (56.8 fiters)
APPROX CUT-_N PRESSURE 160 PSI (1103.2 kPa)
APPROX. CUT-OUT PRESSURE 200 PSI (1379.0 kPa)
SCFM @ 90 PSI (620.5 kPa_ 5._

cant get fixya comment to work so will edit here...

The 200/160 are the typical DS55168 settings from factory and meet the 90 psi @ 5.4 cfm rating.

Pressures can be adjusted to a MAXIMUM 225/185 with a resulting lower cfm rate.

I'm not familiar with "type 9". Likely nothing special just different setting from factory?

D55154 compressor - chugs very slow upon initial startup and motor reset keeps tripping. Pump runs slightly faster with further attempts and after many tries finally fires up and runs fine. Has done this...

If the unloader valve doesn't release the pressure from the compressor it will be hard to start. This is because there will will be pressure inside the compresser. When the tank is full and the compressor shuts off, you should hear a rush of air which is the unloader valve releasing pressure. The unloader is like a one way valve.

(NEW D55154 COMPRESSOR ) I HAVE TO FLIP THE SWITCH ON&OFF ABOUT 3-4 TIME TO GET IT TO START. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

Bad capacitor (or close to going) when you look on the motor is there a cap on top of it that looks like a dome? if it is still under warranty then call Dewalt and see if they will fix it for you.

How much power (kw/hr) does a D55152 use at full capacity?

Below you will find the power requirements for your compressor. I would recommend not to use an extension cord due to possible damage to capacitor. My dewalt a/c, with same motor, is actually using 17.5 amps right before shut off. Good Luck!

    Engine shuts off when max PSI is Reached, instead of cutting out and still running? does anyone have a solution.

    Dont understand the question , does the engine shut off after p-max is met , or does it continue to run , if it continues to run then you have a pressure switch problem
