    What to do if my Craftsman 107.16575 does not run?
    • J
      Joshua YoungAug 15, 2025
      If your Craftsman Air Compressor isn't running, there are several potential causes: * Loss of power or overheating: Ensure proper extension cord use. * No electrical power: Verify the compressor is plugged in and the power switch is ON. * Blown fuse: Replace the fuse at the power supply. * Tripped breaker: Reset the breaker at the power supply. * Thermal overload open: Unplug the compressor and wait for it to cool down. The motor will restart when cool. * Bad pressure switch: Replace the pressure switch. * Tank is full: The compressor will turn on when tank pressure drops to the cut-in pressure.

    Why Craftsman Air Compressor air receiver pressure drops?
    • F
      Frank MarshallAug 18, 2025
      If the air receiver pressure drops when your Craftsman Air Compressor shuts off, it could be due to: 1. Loose or leaking connections (fittings, tubing, etc.): Check all connections with soapy water for bubbles and tighten any loose connections until the leak stops. 2. Loose drain valve: Tighten the drain valve. 3. Leaking check valve: You will need to take the compressor to a service center.

    What to do if Craftsman 107.16575 motor hums, but does not run?
    • J
      Janet LawrenceAug 21, 2025
      If your Craftsman Air Compressor motor hums but doesn't run or runs slowly, it could be due to: * Low voltage from the power supply: Check the voltage with a voltmeter. * Wrong gauge wire or extension cord length: Use the correct wire gauge and length extension cord. * Shorted or broken motor winding: Take the compressor to a service center. * Defective unloader or check valve: Take the compressor to a service center.

    Why does the thermal overload protector cut out repeatedly on my Craftsman 107.16575?
    • J
      Jamie MartinAug 28, 2025
      The thermal overload protector on your Craftsman Air Compressor may cut out repeatedly because of: * Low voltage from the power supply: Check the voltage with a voltmeter. * Poorly ventilated room: Move the compressor to a well-ventilated area to prevent the motor from overheating. * Incorrect gauge wire or extension cord length: Check for proper gauge wire and cord length.

    Why does my Craftsman Air Compressor run continuously?
    • W
      wkhanSep 1, 2025
      Your Craftsman Air Compressor might be running continuously due to: * An open tank drain valve: Ensure the tank drain valve is closed. * A defective pressure switch: You will need to take the compressor to a service center. * Excessive usage: Decrease tool run-time because the compressor may not be large enough to supply the air requirement of the tool.

    What to do if my Craftsman 107.16575 Air Compressor fuses blow repeatedly?
    • H
      hnguyenSep 4, 2025
      If the fuses blow or the circuit breaker trips repeatedly on your Craftsman Air Compressor, consider the following: * Incorrect fuse size or overloaded circuit: Check that the fuse or breaker at the power supply is the correct size and type. Use only time-delay fuses. To avoid overloading a circuit, disconnect other electrical appliances or operate the compressor on its own branch circuit. * Wrong gauge wire or extension cord length: Use the correct wire gauge and length extension cord. * Defective unloader or check valve: Take the compressor to a service center.
