nothing it is the regulator that is faulty

First you have to understand something important about motor brushes. That is the only difference between all motor brushes is their size (brush diameter and contact wire length). This includes fan motor brushes, water pump motors, power tool motors even automobile alternator brushes.
You can also find brushes where you might not think to look.

If you can get even close to the same size as the old set you can file the new ones down to fit. I've done it time and time again.

Your best bet is automotive electronic stores. However you might find them at local auto parts stores, hardware stores like Home Depot (look in the section where they have all the small parts bins). You might also try Tractor Supply. I know they are in Alabama but not sure if there is one close to you.

Remember you can modify the length of the wire also. If the old set has a small contact point on the end of the wire just remove it and solder it to the new brush wire.

I hope this helps you out.

have you tried turning the pressure adjustment knob clockwise to increase regulated, not tank, pressure

the replacement of the pressure switch is the solution,the part may be cost wise as much as the whole compressor

Turn the pressure adjustment knob in to get the desired pressure.

The compressor part is a piston similar to a car motor. If you have an "oil free" they are known to loose compression and usually cost more to repair than to replace. Hopefully you have warranty left.

Hi, my name is John. Welcome to FixYa. Check all lines for air leaks, check the line coming from the pump to the tank, I find that this problem goes un-noticed. You may have to remove it to fully inspect it. Thanks for choosing FixYa...John

you need to adjust the air regulator it has a black knob and there should be a pressure gauge on the regulator just pull up on the knob and then turn it counter clockwise and watch the gauge

the needle is for blowing up basketballs and balls etc. the regulator on the air compressor is for setting the pressure that is within the hose. if you want to blow up a tire to a certain pressure you will need a chuck with a built in guage you can get at the parts store or a separate tire gauge to see what you have the pressure built up to in the tire or whatever. ggod luck.

hi! there, the setting of your pressure switch has the ability to control the cut in and cut out of your compressor.unplug the compressor check the pressure switch by opening the cover loosening the bolt nut at the top cover you can see the four set of contactor inside crack the contactor if disengaging to the other side there should be a disengaging of contactor to cut the power supply if defective replace,if it is functioning normally.if it is not defective set this to what you want operating pressure and observe the cut out pressure several times is needed follow the pressure switch adjustment procedure.have a nice day and fix my rate,thanks a lot.

sounds like valves in head have failed and need to be replaced, that is where I would start looking first.

I am going to assume you mean it blows a fuse when it tries to restart, since I cannot see the rest of your post. When the compressor shuts off after pumping up there is a bleed off valve that should open and dump the air pressure off the head of the pump. There should be a small line that goes to the pressure switch and the valve is in the switch or connected to it. depending on what switch they used it may be serviceable and it may be not.

the outlet ur plugged into the amps are to low when compressor tries to restart under load which draws more power than what the circuit breaker is rated and or their are other things plugged in on same circuit drawing power and causing the higher amp draw-- plug into some other circuit preferably with nothing else plugged into the circuit or with a higher amp [20amp]breaker
