Compressor wont start back up

replace the pressure controller switch

Apparently you have a start capacitor, which acts as a surge tank to allow motor to start up under a load. Its usually a black cylinder shaped object with two [2] prongs with a wire plugged onto each one [1]. It can be tested with proper equipment, but should be reasonable to buy.

Hi guyh815...

Check and replace your pressure shut off switch, normally they will cause this problem, if that does not solve your problem then check the motor.
Please take time to rate me

Hi, the starting capacitor on the motor needs to be replaced. its under the cover on the side of the electric motor. Hope this helps. Regards Phil.

The compressor pobably has a faulty unloader valve which bleeds the pressure off that is left in the cylinder when the compressor turns off . The unloader valve allows the compressor to start the next on cycle with the cylinder empty. Trying to start the compressor with the cylinder under pressure causes too much current draw and trip the circuit breaker.

my ace air compressor which is 26 gallon 5 hp will not get over 60psi what is wrong with it please?

Doesit moan all the time it's on or just as it starts. If it continues to moan then an orfice tube may be partly clogged. If just as it starts and goes away it's just the freon getting moving in an old car. the compressor has lots of miles and the seals are leaking interanlly in the compressor you say it's still cooling but if this is the case it won't for long. Sometimes the air motors in the dash move to the AC mode and they make noise as they move but should stop makings noise soon after startup

hummer h2 hydraulic keeps running depleting battery.

The piston in the motor has a larger "problem" bucking up against the 100 PSI of backpressure already in the tank. Thus, the larger amperage required to start the compressor motor when air is in the tank. Does the compressor motor have a starter capacitor? Perhaps the capacitor has failed...

My washing machine fills up fine, but then when its time to start aggitating and spin's it makes like a metal on plastic grinding noise, We would like to try to fix it ourself but have no idea which part it is. Could you please HELP?
