RickyMcGrath Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Well, my brand new DeWalt jump box, compressor, inverter may have bit the dust. I was testing the compressor by filling up my truck tires and it went haywire. Screen went dark, compressor kept pumping and the unit went unresponsive. It's still making this awful noise and I can't get it to stop. I'm going on 20 minutes of this. There was a slight burning electrical smell at first but the smell has dissipated. It's 45 degrees outside so not sure if it may have overheated. No fuse to remove, no way to shut it off. It had a FULL charge so depending on the draw of whatever is running, this may go on all night. The current noise is no where close to what the compressor sounds like when running. This is two disappointments from DeWalt in 24 hours. https://vimeo.com/195052954 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Ouch that doesn't sound good. Also can't mistake that raunchy electrical burn smell, you know when it hits your nose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyMcGrath Posted December 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 It died finally. I'm assuming the compressor motor went. It sounded like the RPM's were falling, I heard some arcing and then a good puff of smoke came out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
