    What to do if my Clarke Ranger 7/240 Air Compressor has stopped and does not start?
    • J
      Jennifer GallegosJul 31, 2025
      If your Clarke Air Compressor has stopped and won't start, there might be a few reasons. First, check the electrical connections, clean, and tighten them if needed. If that doesn't work, the overload cutout switch may have tripped; switch off the compressor, wait about 5 minutes, press the reset button, and switch it on again. If the problem persists, the motor windings might be burnt out, and you should contact your Clarke dealer for a replacement motor.

      If air is leaking from the non-return valve of your Clarke Air Compressor when it's not running, it could be due to a faulty non-return valve. First, completely drain the air from the receiver. Then, remove the valve end plug, carefully clean the valve seat and the gasket, and reassemble everything.
