• Compressor does not start when tank pressure is low.

• Pressure switch fails to respond during operation.

• Motor continues running after the tank is fully pressurized.

• Compressor starts and stops at irregular pressure levels.

• Air pressure fluctuates unexpectedly between cycles.

Compressor Fails to Start Automatically

Quick Check: Check whether the pressure switch activates when tank pressure falls below the cut-in setting.

Fix Suggestion: Replace the pressure switch if it does not complete the electrical circuit to start the motor.

Prevention Tip: Inspect wiring terminals regularly and keep them free from corrosion.
