    I've been considering buying this compressor but was holding off since the broken tube is a common complaint in the two-star reviews on the HF website. Glad to see it's an easy fix. Thanks for posting. Good luck with your V-8 build.

    Its a compression fitting and the ferrel(brass part) slipped off the pipe its a common plumbing fitting

    Started this compressor up after sitting all winter. It started up and ran. I have two tires and I heard it tick off and then it tried to kick back on when it kicked back on it but not it just made a couple clicks and would not go ahead and run.

    Nice detective work, finding the broken line. It reflects very poorly on Harbor Freight that they would not replace it for you; was it out of their (very short) warranty?

    Harbor Freight done the same thing to me. My compressor leaks air and can't find where it's leaking.

    I don't have to do none of that..mines brand new and sometimes don't start..do I have to break down the motor to see whats wrong?

      If it doesn’t start it sounds like a switch problem to me. I could be wrong tho

  • @tinamatson8144
    @tinamatson8144 Před 3 lety

    I have this compressor. It fills up but won't shut off. The release valve will open up and blow off the air and then it overheats and shuts off. I replaced the relief valve but it didn't fix it. Ideas?

      The pressure switch is obviously faulty (stuck open). Simply replace the switch.

      @@henrygarcia4438 I can't find one for this particular model. When I Iook up a replacement part, it refers me to other brands sold by Home Depo. The company will not return my calls regarding this. Do you think they would be compatible? I'm curious if this is a generic version of a higher end model. BTW, thank you for responding.
