I've had this compressor since Jan with ~ 2 hrs. runtime & it works flawlessly- Filled one tank & shutoff worked fine- left cooling running for 10 min. & shut off- went to fill another tank & fan came right on but compressor(separate switch) did not & is not lit, so I'm assuming switch was bad ( which I had happen on a Vevor). Any other thoughts? Motor fan will rotate manually so compressor not locked up.

Maybe try resetting the breaker on top?

Breaker was fine- 1st thing I tried but forgot to mention

Lol, sometimes you get lucky. There is a controller board monitoring the systems with multiple green LED lights lit up on mine.

There was an earlier report of a couple of wires on the cooling system connectors (down by the radiator area) being wrong, too. All the colored wires should match each other on both sides of the connectors is what I remember.

I would think if the switch was bad, it would still light up, but maybe not.

I'd put in a call to PA support and see what they say before doing much more.

Thanks for the replies, Triggertreat- reaching Pa support can be like watching grass grow LOL- got 2 calls into them in 2 days-still waiting- hate to get further in without consultation-and thinking about it, my cooler switch is lit whether running or not, so switch may not be the answer- they need complete schematics for these compressors, so someone can troubleshoot- I will grow older than my 65 yrs. waiting on a tech. Seems like the fact they own Air Venturi, that service would be a priority.Any thoughts on jumping the 2 leads going to switch? They are both hots. Just to test

Mine did that once in the 2 years I've had it. I unplugged it for a few minutes and it works like normal again.

I would call Air Venturi directly; they have always been helpful and quick to respond when I had questions or problems with my compressor. The number should be in your instructions manual. 1 (216) 220-1180

I hate to hear that. I am already out of ideas, sorry. I haven't had any issues to have to deal with any. I am sure it's coming...Subscribed...

You know, we have a PA gate here and Tyler is usually quick to respond.... maybe try a post there as well.

I don't' know if it is still the case, but in the past, PA service didn't answer the phone for customers until after 1 pm their time.

Not sure of the phone number you called for tech support. I called AV service at 226-220-1180, they gave me great customer support & service. My problem was burst disk related.
Let us know how it goes and how they resolved the issue.

triggertreat · « **Reply #11 on:** July 25, 2019, 11:56:11 PM »

I did that same thing too Randy now that you mention it. The service was great then for me as well.

Also wondering about fuse- found the fuse block but not sure how to access the fuse(it has a flip up on top but can't see if fuse slips in there- assume it does, but need to pull another panel to see- Still trying to contact PA & thanks again for all suggestions- sure its something simple

be4meliz · « **Reply #13 on:** July 26, 2019, 11:52:22 AM »

Replaced fuse- no change- still waiting on PA(3rd call in)

KnifeMaker · « **Reply #14 on:** July 26, 2019, 07:44:20 PM »

Call PA after 1 pm their time. When ask to put in number if you know the extension, hit "5" which will take you to tech service.

Ask for Stacy or Boris.

I think that your switch melted a contact. You've checked everything else already. I had this happen on my compressor as well and I got it back running by replacing it with a higher quality switch from Digikey. Mfg was Bulgin:

That is a 250v switch.... would that matter?

Nope. It's rated up to 250V, so switching 125V isn't a problem.

I feel that is the issue, also- will try new one when I get it today & if it happens again will follow your suggestion- had same thing happen on Vevor. Cheap-@@@ chinese rocker switch.

Couldn't tell from the picture.... is this a four pole switch?
