Why is my Craftsman 919.165610 Air Compressor not supplying enough air?
- M
  Mr. Michael DixonAug 18, 2025
  If your Craftsman Air Compressor isn't supplying enough air, it might be due to prolonged excessive air usage. Try decreasing the amount of air you're using. Also, verify that your compressor's SCFM or pressure output meets the accessory's air requirements. If not, you may need a larger compressor. Inspect the hose for holes and replace if necessary. Remove and clean, or replace a restricted check valve. Tighten any loose fittings to prevent air leaks. Finally, clean or replace a restricted air intake filter, but never operate the compressor without the filter.

  If you notice air leaks at the fittings of your Craftsman Air Compressor, the tube fittings might not be tight enough. Tighten the fittings where you hear air escaping, and use a soapy water solution to check for leaks. Be careful not to overtighten.

  If your Craftsman Air Compressor has air leaks in the air tank or at the air tank welds, the air tank is defective and must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the leak, drill into, weld, or modify the air tank, as this will weaken it and could cause it to rupture or explode.

What to do if my Craftsman Air Compressor safety valve pops off?
- J
  Joseph Price DDSSep 6, 2025
  If the safety valve on your Craftsman Air Compressor is popping off due to excessive tank pressure, it could be that the pressure switch isn't shutting off the motor when the compressor reaches its cut-out pressure, or the pressure switch cut-out is set too high. Move the On/Auto/Off lever to the “OFF” position. If the compressor still doesn't shut off, contact a Trained Service Technician.
