air compressor pressure switch assembly breakdown. with a bad unloader valve

this come off a Campbell Hausfeld air compressor model HL551600. you can watch my other video for the new compressor switch installation. sorry about my son being loud lol. but good luck!!

[@AstroGetm]

Bro thank you so much! You’re an absolute life saver! Took mine apart, not expecting it to be spring loaded, and it just shot apart on me. Thought it was game over until I found your video!

[@jasonenglish1181]

Like so many other, I couldn't have gotten this switch back together without this video.

[@davegrawien6933]

Thanks a million. I couldn't figure out how it went back together. You made my day better.

[@buenacg]

This video was a HUGE help. I took mine apart and all the guts fell out cuz I’m a dumdum. 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ Thanks!

[@okidoke4822]

thanks brother. my compressor wouldn't start after I foolishly unplugged and replugged the power without turning off the switch and so I decided to have a look inside this "box" and of course, things went flying everywhere and I had no idea how to put it back together. I eventually learned what this box is called, and now with your video I reassembled this pressure switch. it looked quite frustrating, but I rook my time and all went well. I did use some zip ties to hold the parts together because I knew it would go flying apart for me if I didn't. anyway, during this project I discovered the reset button as well, which probably would've fixed my initial problem. I've also changed the oil and evacuated the little bit of water that was inside my compressor. I also reset the cut-in and cut-out pressures, and now the whole thing is working better that it did before. I'm so happy. I inherited this compressor from my late father and it comes in so handy. I would've hated to have had to buy a new one. So thanks again for your time. Also, sounded like James was working on his own project in the background. :)

thank you for making this video! there's no way I could have gotten mine back together properly without this tutorial.

[@peterhackett1243]

I also had the spring explosion........no way to know how to put it back together. Thank you. I could not get the contraption to stay together for assembly. used a zip tie to hold it all together.......and had success. thanks again. i would say you have a patient delivery. so many info u tubes are done too quickly. You are the man!

[@tonywaller680]

hi there.thanks so much for your time doing this,james sounds like a buding technition coming up ,,make the the most of your time with him my son is now 51 ,time flys buy so fast,regards TW..Canada,s west coast

[@712scr]

Couldnt have fixed mine without this vid. Thanks for explaining and the detail. Most importantly…. You had time for James !

[@buenacg]

Dang this video was helpful. It took me a bunch of trying until I gave up on putting it together with the little spring on. I assembled it with the spring loose and then used a hook to pull it forward and seat it! Worked on the first try. What a pain in the butt! Lol

[@garageguy88]

I did the same, wrapped a wire around it to keep some tension on it until I was ready.

[@buenacg]

@@BryanClark-gk6ieI don’t know what that means.

[@Davidsavage8008]

Plastic reset plate was what I was clueless on .thanks . P.s. my son I named James back in 92. Thanks ...

[@chrismcghee]

Great video, thank you! And James was great to listen to!

[@bobchugach4983]

Yo the man!! The best closeup video on springs and electrical contacts locations in a pressure switch rebuild! Thank you!

[@garageguy88]

Saved my a$$ bud! Thank you, great video, couldn’t find the help anywhere else, you’re the man! What a pain in the a$$ to put back on, good job juggling the vid and keepin cool with your boy, appreciate you!

[@pennydavidson7958]

thanks for sharing this video!!! i got a brand new switch was trying to avoid taking the back off and it fell apart!! thanks again!!!

[@lyricbasuel8046]

Thank you so much. Well done, I've learned to assemble my switch because of your video. 😊

[@braino6784]

I wish I found you yesterday. I spent 2 and a 1/2 hours on one exacty like that and gave up and bought a new one

[@timsutterby9899]

Glad to know I'm not the only one that fell in the spring trap .Thank You

[@keholy1650]

Man that was a lifesaver thank you

[@timyanke9559]

great job explaining how it works, a difficult part to work on, i used some wire to hold it together while assembling

[@russellstewart9012]

This is a wonderful video. Absolute life saver

[@jameslandry9544]

Thank u big man mine was laying apart for a year b 4 I went to put it back together . So yea forgot how it goes was an understatement . Thanks again got a chuckle outta lil man I'm sure he's not so lil now✌️

[@Indianaxes]

Great tutorial! Saved my bacon! Thanks

[@charlescooperderose8872]

Brother you are a God send. Thank you very much!

[@nicholasellis1775]

Your the man! Very helpful. Found this old school twin compressor. Had clean the diodes or whatever them damn things called. The 4 screws were stripped out. The brass connections. Its 5:15am. I tried reassembly not knowing wtf what was what. But you made it happen twice. Fuck yea extra compressor do trim work. Thanks dude. Btw love the idea capri sun straw. Awesome

[@hokansoc]

Compressor stopped shutting off when it hit pressure, so I took it apart. And of course, the spring-loaded parts went everywhere... Couldn't figure out what went where until I found this video. Thanks for making it

[@AJ-vl5dv]

Your welcome

[@StonemanRocks]

If you are going to tear it clear down why dont you clean it up? Or hey put that rusty gunky shit back together just like that then do it again in a month! To each his own but to me you just practicing tearing it down and putting it back together when another hour to clean it up and put it back together once!

[@TheShawVMedia]

@@StonemanRocks He bought a new one. This is just to show people how to take it apart and reassemble it.

[@StonemanRocks]

Replacing it is the way to go. Its kind of a pain to put it back together if you tear it all the way down. It can be done and zip ties (I used 2) help immensely to hold the pieces with the spring until you install the 4 main mounting screws! Wait until you screw those 4 screws almost all the way in then cut the zip ties or it will slip apart if you aren't carefull!

[@StonemanRocks]

@@TheShawVMedia right on and sorry to criticize your methods. I have done stuff like that when in a hurry. I only learn by banging my head on the wall a lot of times. A lot of it is fear of the unknown too. If you have basic handy skills just go for it I say. Clean shit up good keep it safe and don't lose it and label wiring or take good pics for reference. Happy repairing! It saves a ton of money too!

[@criticsview]

Thank you for making this video! Huge help.

[@user-sr2hw2fr8e]

I seemed to have difficulty installing the spring switch too... it's really damn😂

[@nortecatoreceene]

This video saved my ass lol thank you brotha

[@carymcdaniel6275]

Thanks man my switch exploded on me and I had no clue how the son of b××ch went together

[@rafaelabella1163]

thanks very clair tutorial

[@lylekliewer4787]

A real demonstration of patience and finesse! I thought for years my switch was leaking, so last winter I dove in. (it was the check valve, could've saved time, money and frustration just removing it and cleaning the gunk out of it.) I didn't have my mini-me wanting to help when I disassembled and reassembled it last winter, but I still screwed it up. I ordered a new one online. I still have that old switch, and after watching your video, am looking forward to putting it back together again, correctly this time. Thanks for showing us how.

[@delreypimp]

Thanks bro. That saved my ass!!!

[@anakinskywalker6200]

Thanks man

[@chuy2681]

Thanks you

[@walterhassard8257]

Excellent thank you.

[@bbjazzmanjazzman7721]

Be extra careful with really older air compressor, there is a sliding contact plate that basically reciprocate with the conductor..this thin forked plastic becomes brittle especially in very old school compressor types and this piece may even shatter just disassembling it just like you are doing here... Mine was in pieces when I went to inspect inside..my type of air compressor will need to be Cross part fitted . Good video.thanks for sharing.

[@FauziAveline]

thanks for the video man, that thing has the stupidest design on earth

[@theneonpython]

Every time i try to put it on the plate after snapping it in place it comes apart. 4 hours later im done with this piece of sh!t
