What to do when your air compressor wont start?

If the compressor still will not start, look along the wiring path for your compressor and make sure, if it has an in-line fuse, that it hasn’t blown, or if there is a reset button, give it a push. Having done these quick checks, you will now have identified for sure that the air compressor is the source of the electrical problem.

Why is my husky air compressor not turning on?

Air leaks from loose joints also lead to lagging receiver pressures. However, air filter replacements and tightening of joints will resolve these problems. You will notice a slow receiver pressure buildup when the Husky air compressor won’t turn on. It might be from its insufficient compressor speed.

Why does my air compressor make a clicking sound?

Since the compressor tank will not compress air, its low pressure caused a ‘clicking’ sound in the pressure switch. The clicking sound indicates the pressure switch trying to send electrical power to the compressor motor.

Why is my Campbell Hausfeld air compressor not working?

When my Campbell Hausfeld compressor stopped working, the power switch couldn’t turn on the compressor. It also affected both the automatic run sensor and inner circuit units. Air compressor troubleshooting is important because it can help operators to detect minor faults.
