  If your airmaster Air Compressor has stopped and won't start, there are a few potential reasons. First, check the electrical connections, cleaning and tightening them if necessary. Second, the overload cutout switch may have tripped; in this case, switch off the compressor, wait about 5 minutes, press the reset button, and switch it back on. Finally, if the motor windings are burnt out, contact your dealer for a replacement motor.
