Small Compressor Stay’en Alive
Keeping a compressor working and updates
This beatup compressor has been working tirelessly for years. It succumbed to
the China syndrome, cheep parts and poor design. This unit actually has a purpose
it inflates car tires and everyone knows where it is, such a waist to junk it so we FIXED IT!
The start capacitor was blown so it wouldn’t start. A new larger one was used, it had to be strapped on cause it was not a direct replacement, but it kicks this thing off.
second the air pressure start/shutoff valve was inop. Lots going on in this switch box. This one died because the electrical contacts had plastic design.
the parts used are listed, the cost to fix was around 30 bucks
