What to do if my California Air Tools TL5 Air Compressor stopped and does not start?

  Paul BartonJul 26, 2025
  If your California Air Tools Air Compressor has stopped and won't restart, it might be due to motor overheating. Ensure the main voltage matches the device's specifications. Avoid using extension cords that are too thin or long, as they can cause voltage drops and overheating. Allow the motor to cool down, use a heavy-duty extension cord, or ideally, plug the compressor directly into a wall socket. If the motor windings are burned out, contact Customer Support.

  If your California Air Tools Air Compressor motor doesn't start or starts slowly, it could be due to low voltage supply. Ensure the main voltage matches the specifications. Avoid using extension cords that are too thin or long, as they can cause a voltage drop and cause the motor to overheat. Let the motor cool down. Use a heavy-duty extension cord, or for best results, plug directly into a wall socket.
