We are thrilled when we get comments like these:
From Dwayne: Thanks I’ve been looking for this answer for the last 6 hours on how to hook up a unloader switch .. I appreciate your time and trouble answering my question.
From Jay: Thanks for your great site. I was able to find that the starter on my regulator had the hot wire slid off the spade lug. Simple fix (a bit of a pain to work in that small box tho). Great site!
From Shawn: Compressor had air over the piston. This site solved my problem quickly. Thanx, fix-my-compressor.com.
From Benjamin: Just to say thank you for this page, instantly able to diagnose intake valve failing, turned out to be a gasket blown through, 10 min job that saved me a whole heap of pain and expense.
From Ally: Thanks for your help, I have replaced the PRV and the compressor is working as it should. It’s a shame I had to fork out for an expensive pressure switch (£23.78) when all I needed was a cheap PRV (£2.99).
From R. Torres: Thank you for your advice and help. I had purchased a new starting capacitor which did not make a difference. I was about to purchase a pressure switch when I came up on your website. I simply opened the existing pressure switch box and lifted the switch plate up with a screwdriver, plugged it back in, and it started working immediately. So, thank you, once again.
From T. Ames: This is the Best and most thorough site I have ever found regarding air compressors and their repair.
Many thanks to the authors for taking so much time to assemble this site and sharing it.
