Thanks for the post. Help me find issue with my compressor.

*Construction seemed sturdier than other units I considered **MyBest.Tools** Noise level was reasonable. Good pressure and cfm capacity for a small reasonably light compressor.*

FAN FREAKING TASTIC!!!!!! THANK YOU

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! After having this same issue over the last 6 months and replacing the pressure switch and capacitors, I came across your video. I immediately went to the compressor, cut the zip tie and moved the breaker in to the open. The compressor now works as it should! I am thankful for people like you Tracy who take the time to make videos to help others!

I had same issue, worked for a bit now acting up again. Thanks for explanation. Not sure if you can buy another one

You are a genius! I recently bought a used 20 gal. Husky compressor on Craigslist for $50 that started having this problem. I was about to scrap it, but this gave it new life! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge, you are a good man.

I have the same compressor with the same problem. I have been trying for years to figure out what was overheating with no luck. I watched your video and sure enough, that little circuit breaker was ziptied to the motor windings on mine. I doubt I would have ever figured it out without your video. I cut the ziptie, pulled the circuit breaker away from the motor and it works like a charm now. Thanks for posting this!

I got my husky compressor from a neighbor who was having this problem and just wanted to get rid of it, and after about 4 years of having this compressor collecting dust in my garage I finally came across your video... so far it's been working great, finally my other little compressor is going to take a break. thank you!

Thank you sir. Mine wasn't the fuse but it was my switched that burned out. Back up and running!

Dude you are a freaking genius. I was just about to pull the trigger and buy a $35 pressure switch.I just found your video, tried it and now my compressor is running fine. Thanks Bro.

Omg thank you so much! I've been fighting my compressor for weeks. I replaced pressure switch and switch thinking that was problem. It wasn't, compressor would come on but only build 40 psi then just off over and over, until I found this video

Dude, you rock!!! My Husky 20 Gallon model had the same thing wrong with it except my breaker was still attached to the magneto. I trimmed off the tie wrap and moved it, no problem getting over the, formerly, usual 85 psi, all the way up to 140 psi. Thanks so much! I do have another question though that you may have encountered. When I go to restart my unit it sometimes seems to be in a seized state and then will take off after a second or two. Update: I found that when the Home Depot personnel had "repaired" this unit that's they had installed a directional section backwards causing incorrect airflow. I corrected this and it now runs and shuts off perfectly. Thanks again for your video.

Chris Robison Awesome.I do the same thing.Get something on my mind and can't wait.No matter what time it is.

Probably the thermal switch is meant to be cable-tied in there so that it's in somewhat contact with what is getting hot. I agree that by letting it float in the air the sensor stays cooler and that "fixes" the symptom of cutting off the motor, but the motor is still getting warm. Whether or not the thermal switch is faulty or has a cutoff which is too low, is unknown. I removed my shroud and added an external fan to keep the motor cool, and that seems to have fixed the problem.

That was a great tip! was going crazy and it was the same thing.. Thank you...

Thanks for the help. I bypassed mine, put a new switch, pressure cut on/off and it works again.

Have the same issue with the 17gal compressor I have...BUT...using an amp clamp I can confirm that, as the pressure builds, the current climbs up to 15A at which point the breaker trips. Let it sit for a few minutes and it will reset. Issue is worse when it is hot out. Since I have a high current problem I don't think this breaker is my issue bit I will certainly look, thanks!

I soooo wish I would have seen this video before all the “extra” replacement parts I have ordered lol The only difference is I had to delete the circuit breaker altogether. I suppose it got too hot, too many times! Thanks for this video! (Even though it was years ago lol)

Good to know. I will look at mine. Got a 20 gallon Husky that trips my shop breaker every time I turn it on. Just started doing that. Anyway, if I reset the breaker a bunch of times, the compressor will finally keep running. I was leaning towards a start capacitor or maybe a run capacitor. Thanks.

Mine has been driving me nuts. Tried bypassing everything. Would work for a little bit then shut off. Can imagine if tank over filled or heated so bad a fire. Thanks for this helpful video. I will be checking later tonight

Haha damnit I replaced the switch and sensor on mine and finally found this video, hopefully this solves it. I was getting ready to roll mine off a cliff and shoot at it haha

Tracy Bullock, hello I just found your channel through Google on how to fix a Husky Air Compressor. I have liked subscribed and rang the bell. I'm going to take mine apart and check this out. Mine is a smaller 6 gallon one but maybe the same issue. I don't remember seeing a reset button on it, so I'm going to check for that first.

Interesting! Thx very much!

I’m having same problem with my 20G I’ll check it out.

Just wanted to say thanks for the video... I've spent money and time on this unit to figure out why it wouldn't kick back on. I really like the unit for transporting but sucks when you have a limit on air until now. Piss poor design! Thanks again

I have an exact same one like that one ..it has two issues.. I hope you can help me out…first issue it has it’s the pressure relief valve goes off when the automatic stop wouldn’t stot at its Max ..now the last time I used it it would charge air but not recharge when it would hit low ..I have to unplug and wait for it to cool down to star back on again please give me some tips

I have a 20 gallon husky upright compressor and it doesn't shut off when it gets to pressure set. It will build to 150 psi no problem and stay there for days it doesn't leak but won't shut off unless manually shut off.

This worked for me! I was not able to even fill up the tank without the thing shutting off and having to wait 5 minutes for it cool down and try again. The little bugger was hard to find. It helps to follow the wires from the main switch. That will give you an idea of where this is hidden. I clipped the 2 black zip ties and mine also had clear tape that held it in place. Just bent the wire with the switch away from the motor and it ran just like new. I wanted to point out that some of the covers for these air compressors have Phillips screws holding the cover down at the front and back of the plastic cover in addition to the bolts on the sides. I found out the hard way. Tracy, Thanks for saving me a couple hundred dollars.

My exact model dont shut off at 150psi and then the safety valve pops out. So what can it be

I have a similar unit and the motor will run but seems to stop when full and pop. Nothing after that unless unplugged and wait. Do you have any ideas. Seems to be a static motor.
