How a Budget Air Compressor PRESSURE SWITCH Works!

[@Iseekoutthetruth]

Good To Know. I Just Bought Me A Small 3 Gallon Air Compressor For $5 At A Yard Sale About A Month Ago. I Have never Seen Pliers Like Your Before.

Glad you finally got a Compressor 😁 What a bargain! Yeah, these are plumbers pliers... Very handy in certain applications

REAL GOOD video with explanation

Good clear explanation, thanks

My compressor won't turn off! Now I'll be able to see why the pressure switch isn't working properly. Thanks for showing how these things work, great explaination, easy to understand.

[@jelreviews]

Yeah, hope it helps! It'll be either unloader valve, or tank motor air inlet check valve. 👍👍

@@jelreviews I'm sure this info will help me sort it. Cheers

Excellent presentation! My pressure switch has just failed - can't actuate the On/Off switch button coz its push rod is stuck in the up-position and can't push the button down with the compressor air reservoir either empty or near full pressure (manually filled from the 240V supply) - no difference to the On/Off switch position! What symptom(s) did the small air dump valve exhibit when yours failed ? I think my dump valve has also failed leaving pressure in this line??? Did you have to purchase a complete switch or did you source a replacement dump valve?? Where did you source your replacement part from? You are obviously an Aussie and I hail from Gippsland, Vic. Cheers

Compressor starts ok but when pressure drops and tries to restart it blow fuse

[@jelreviews]

Hmm, sounds like a possible starter capacitor fault, might need replacing, not sure. Here's a helpful forum thread that might help... www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/compressor-motor-keeps-blowing-fuses.89994/
