      If your Airmaster Air Compressor has stopped and won't restart, there are several potential causes. First, check the electrical connections, cleaning and tightening them if necessary. Second, the overload cutout switch may have tripped; in this case, switch the compressor off, wait approximately 5 minutes, press the reset button, and switch it back on. Lastly, if the motor windings are burnt out, you will need to contact your dealer for a replacement motor.
