exilegod Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Hey guys, i hae a powerbuilt hot rod compressor, i was in the process of using it yesterday and all of a sudden i realized that hte gun was becoming very weak and the nails weren't even going in, so i checked the hot rod compressor and realizede that it was refusing to turn on. i turned it on and off a few times but nothing happened, let the air out and turned it on again and still nothing happened.. is it done for good or is there something i can do to test and see if it still works?i changed power plugs but to no avail, its refusing to turn on!~ thanks for the help guys!

firefighter4187 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Also is this an oil free compressor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I promise I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but did you check the breaker? Is it plugged into a GFI? If so, did you check it? Bigger 110V compressors are notorious for tripping breakers, especially if it's a 15 amp outlet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FerTheHandyman Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 It may be the pressure switch that makes it turn on when the pressure drops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
