Eagle max air. C5160v1.
Compressor seemed to Struggle and whine when it was filling up. Last year I replaced all the gaskets on the heads, seemed to run just fine. I use it primarily for cabinet spraying. all of a sudden it just stopped.. Landlord used it, so I’m not sure what happened when it did. I replaced the motor… nothing. Wont even make a sound. Doesn’t even try to turn on. Any suggestions ?? Tank is empty, the valves were all clean, oil change done, belt looks fine.
Zack, have you had a chance to trace the power from the source, through the switch, to the motor caps? If not, please do so. Replacing the motor was an expensive step. When you did that, did the new motor come with new capacitors?
The new motor did come with ne capacitors.
OK Zack. Once you’ve traced the power to be sure it gets to the caps, then the next step is to test the capacitors. Based on what you’ve written, unless you’ve changed the power supply to the compressor, the symptoms point to a weak or failed start cap. Good luck, and please let us know what you found.
Was also the pressure switch. Big problem is eagle does not deal parts to Canada as of 2018. Replaced motor. Replaced pressure switch, started right up. Adjusted the belt and so far so good. Thanks for the advice everyone.
So glad you got it working, Zack. Just FYI, many of the parts you refer to need not be OEM, as the compressor manufacturers buy them too, meaning that you can find them on the open market. As long as you know the specs of the part, Google that, and you’ll pretty much always find parts. Good luck.
Yup. No problems there. Everything’s been easily swapped with other manufactured parts.
