Why is my Craftsman 919.167220 not supplying enough air?
- E
  Elizabeth GrayAug 18, 2025
  Your Craftsman Air Compressor may not be supplying enough air to operate accessories due to prolonged excessive use of air, or because the compressor isn't large enough for the air requirement. Other potential causes include a hole in the hose, a restricted check valve, air leaks, or a restricted air intake filter. To resolve this, decrease air usage, verify the accessory's air requirement (and get a larger compressor if needed), check and replace the hose if required, remove and clean (or replace) the check valve, tighten fittings, and clean or replace the air intake filter.

How to fix air leaks at the fittings of my Craftsman 919.167220?

  Stacy ReeseAug 23, 2025
  Air leaks at the fittings of your Craftsman Air Compressor are often caused by tube fittings that are not tight enough. To fix this, tighten the fittings where you hear air escaping. You can also check the fittings with a soapy water solution. Be careful not to overtighten them.

What to do if my Craftsman 919.167220 Air Compressor has air leaks in the tank?
- J
  James PhillipsAug 26, 2025
  If your Craftsman Air Compressor has air leaks in the air tank or at the air tank welds, the air tank must be replaced as it is defective. Do not attempt to repair the leak, and do not drill into, weld, or otherwise modify the air tank, as this will weaken it and could cause it to rupture or explode.

  Air leaks at or inside the check valve of your Craftsman Air Compressor are likely due to a damaged check valve seat. The suggested solution is to replace the check valve. Refer to the "To Replace or Clean Check Valve" in the "Service and Adjustment" section.

Why does the safety valve keep popping off on my Craftsman 919.167220?
- J
  Joshua WattsSep 2, 2025
  The safety valve on your Craftsman Air Compressor may be popping off due to excessive tank pressure. This can happen if the pressure switch does not shut off the motor when the compressor reaches its cut-out pressure. Move the On/Auto/Off lever to the OFF position; if the unit still doesn't shut off, contact a trained service technician.

How to fix a knocking noise in my Craftsman 919.167220?
- D
  Dr. Wendy NicholsonSep 5, 2025
  A knocking noise in your Craftsman Air Compressor could be due to a possible defect in the safety valve or a defective check valve. Try manually operating the safety valve by pulling on the ring. If the valve still leaks, it should be replaced. You can also remove and clean, or replace the check valve.

Why does the pressure drop on my Craftsman Air Compressor when using an accessory?
- W
  William ShepherdSep 7, 2025
  It's normal for some pressure drop to occur on the regulated pressure gauge of your Craftsman Air Compressor when an accessory is used. However, if there's an excessive amount of pressure drop, adjust the regulator following the instructions in the "Description of Operation" paragraph in the "Operation Section. Remember to adjust the regulated pressure under flow conditions (while the accessory is being used).
