  If your BE Air Compressor motor is not running, running too slow, or overheating, there are several potential causes. First, check the line for any faults or insufficient voltage. If the power wire is too thin or too long, replace it. A faulty pressure switch or motor can also be the culprit, requiring repair or replacement. Finally, check for any sticking of the main compressor and repair if necessary.

  If your BE Air Compressor experiences insufficient pressure or decreased discharge capacity, it could stem from several issues. Begin by checking and fixing a motor that's running too slow. Ensure the air filter isn't clogged by cleaning or replacing the cartridge. Inspect for leaks in the safety valve or discharge pipe, adjusting or repairing as needed. Replace any damaged sealing gaskets. If the valve plate is damaged, has carbon buildup, or is stuck, replace and clean it. Lastly, repair or replace worn or damaged piston rings and cylinders.

  If your BE Air Compressor is experiencing terrible shaking or abnormal noises, start by checking all connections and retightening any that are loose. If there's a foreign body (debris, dirt, etc.) in the main compressor, check and clean it away. If the piston is knocking against the valve seat, replace it with a thicker paper gasket. Lastly, if moving parts are seriously worn, consider repairing or replacing them.

What causes sticking of main compressor in BE AC2020?
- J
  Jasmine AdamsAug 27, 2025
  If the main compressor of your BE Air Compressor is sticking, it could be due to a couple of reasons. Moving parts might be burnt due to low oil. In this case, check the crankshaft, bearing, connecting rod, piston, piston ring, etc., and replace if necessary. Alternatively, moving parts could be damaged or stuck by a foreign body. Again, check the crankshaft, bearing, connecting rod, piston, piston ring, etc., and replace if necessary.
