Why does my compressor keep cutting out?

An air compressor problem could stem from one of many issues, such as an air leak, an oil leak or a broken part. In some cases, you might have insufficient pressurization or air flow. In other cases, the compressor might fail to start up or stop running as prompted.

Why won’t an air compressor shut off?

If the air pressure in the tank doesn’t reach the normal cut out pressure level, and since then the air compressor can’t shut off as the pressure never reaches the cut out pressure level, then look to the intake valve or internal gasket leak as the possible source of the problem.

What would cause an air compressor to not turn on?

A stuck-open check valve causes high pump head pressure, preventing the compressor from restarting. If the compressor won’t start with air in tank, replace the check valve. If the compressor won’t start with an empty air tank, replace the pressure switch if it isn’t activating the pump motor.
