Why is my Craftsman Air Compressor not supplying enough air?
- R
  rachelshieldsJul 30, 2025
  If your Craftsman Air Compressor isn't supplying enough air, it could be due to several reasons. You might be using too much air for the compressor's capacity. Check the air requirements of your accessories and compare them to the compressor's SCFM and pressure output; you may need a larger compressor. Other potential issues include a hole in the hose (check and replace if needed), a restricted check valve (remove and clean, or replace), air leaks (tighten fittings), or a restricted air intake filter (clean or replace). Remember to always operate the air compressor with the filter in place.

How to fix air leaks at fittings on Craftsman 919.165611?

  If you notice air leaks at the fittings of your Craftsman Air Compressor, it's likely that the tube fittings aren't tightened sufficiently. Tighten the fittings where you hear air escaping, and use a soapy water solution to help identify the leaks. Be careful not to overtighten the fittings.

What to do if Craftsman 919.165611 has excessive tank pressure?
- J
  Jared HernandezAug 11, 2025
  If you're experiencing excessive tank pressure in your Craftsman Air Compressor and the safety valve keeps popping off, it could be due to a couple of reasons. The pressure switch might not be shutting off the motor when the compressor reaches its cut-out pressure. Try moving the On/Auto/Off lever to the “OFF” position; if the unit still doesn't shut off, it's best to contact a trained service technician. Another possibility is that the pressure switch “cut-out” is set too high, which also requires attention from a qualified technician.

What to do if Craftsman Air Compressor has air leaks in air tank?
- B
  Brandon NguyenAug 16, 2025
  If you find air leaking in your Craftsman Air Compressor's air tank or at the tank welds, it indicates a defective air tank. The air tank must be replaced; do not attempt to repair the leak. Avoid drilling into, welding, or modifying the air tank, as this will weaken it and could cause it to rupture or explode.

Why is my Craftsman 919.165611 Air Compressor making a knocking noise?
- K
  Kristi KellyAug 25, 2025
  If you hear a knocking noise coming from your Craftsman Air Compressor, it could indicate a potential issue with the safety valve or a defective check valve. Try manually operating the safety valve by pulling on its ring. If the valve continues to leak, it should be replaced. Additionally, you can remove and clean the check valve, or replace it if necessary.
