compressor doesn't self refill when pressure drops

11 years 6 months ago #230 by Martin
Hello,
I own a Husky compressor wl660800aj 32 gallon.

I have a simple problem with it. It does not refill it self like it use to. It stops short when refilling up to 150 psi. To reach full pressure, I need to turn the power switch to off, and after about 30 seconds I hear a very light click sound, and the I can start it up again. After 3-4 times like that, I finally reach full 150psi pressure.

When I use it, and the pressure falls, it does not start up again to refill it self. I've had this problem for a while now. Can you guide me on what part I should clean, or replace to fix the problem. It's not over heating.

My guess is that it's the pressure switch, but I don't know that much about compressors, could be something else too.

I did not use it much, twice yearly to change my tires, and to winterize my swimming pool, so I would say a very light usage. I got it new about 8-10 years ago.

Thank you very much in advance

Martin,
I have included some trouble shooting documents below that should help you in identifying the problem. It could be a motor issue, pressure switch problem or another unknown electrical issue. I can't say for sure because I'm not an electrician admittedly but this should help you narrow it down, certainly.

If you still have questions the manufacturer can certainly provide some tech help at 800-543-6400.
Thank you!
