My Dewalt 15 gal D55168 air compressor will not continuously build air after air supply has been depleted. Please provide help or a service center close by. I live in NW Oklahoma. Thank you.

you may be using more air that unit can supply. This is a very common error. it is only 5 cfm which is small. Call Whitton Supply Co. or visit our local Oklahoma City showroom (405) 236-5561.

(I need a new electric motor for my air compressor. Where do I find one?

I think I can help you guys needing a replacement CC-5440M12 120V/60Hz Ronning Motor. I have been cleaning out my shop and I have four (4) of these used electric motors. All work fine. They still have the plastic fan blade on one end and the metal gear on the other. I actually have electric cords wired up on each of them that I used to make sure they worked.
Thought I would pass this information on to you. Thanks and have a great day.

Dewalt d55153 runs continually trying to get up to pressure, but can't.

Just a guess but I think you have broken the rings inside. If you keep running it with broken rings you will trash the cylinder inside. I think you can buy a new pump for it if you are not mechanically minded.

My dewalt 15 gal D55168 runs momentarily then trips the GFI outlet.

There is a ground fault in that case. If you are in need to ask this sort of question, I recommend the services of a qualified electrician.

I need to find the reset button on a D55146 Dewalt air compressor

There is no reset button for the compressor, if the compressor won't start check the valve is not open, also check the outlet power, Shut the drain valve at the bottom of the tank if it's open

Dewalt dc618 wont fire

firstly its always better to change both of the bands even if one is broken this always keeps the drive trim.all seems well clean all the contacts ie battery and gun (do not use any cleaning products this will cause grease)just wipe clean with paper towel.

Dewalt 15 gallon air compressor will shut off it continues to run after shut off point. How do I fix it

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

Dewalt d55275 shows 120 psi, but won't run air tools

Not enough volume... if psi is good just increase the size of the line.
