Why is my Craftsman 919.167311 not supplying enough air?
- V
  valerieporterAug 14, 2025
  If your Craftsman Air Compressor isn't supplying enough air, first decrease your air usage and check the air requirements of your accessories to ensure they don't exceed the compressor's capabilities. Inspect and replace the hose if there's a hole. Remove and clean or replace a restricted check valve. Tighten any loose fittings. Finally, clean or replace a restricted air intake filter. Do not operate the air compressor without the filter.

What to do if there are air leaks in the tank of my Craftsman 919.167311 Air Compressor?

  anthony72Aug 25, 2025
  If you find air leaking in the air tank or at the welds of your Craftsman Air Compressor's tank, the air tank must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the leak, as it poses a risk of bursting. Avoid drilling, welding, or modifying the air tank, as this will weaken it and could cause it to rupture or explode.

What causes air leaks at the check valve in a Craftsman 919.167311 Air Compressor?

  robert36Aug 28, 2025
  If you observe air leaks at or inside the check valve of your Craftsman Air Compressor, it indicates a damaged check valve seat. A defective check valve causes a constant air leak at the pressure release valve when the tank is pressurized and the compressor is off. Replace the check valve.

  If the safety valve on your Craftsman Air Compressor is popping off due to excessive tank pressure, immediately move the On/Auto/Off lever to the "OFF" position. If the unit still doesn't shut off, contact a Trained Service Technician.

Why does the pressure drop on my Craftsman 919.167311 Air Compressor when I use an accessory?

How to troubleshoot a Craftsman 919.167311 when the motor will not run?
- T
  Taylor TrevinoNov 17, 2025
  If your Craftsman Air Compressor motor won't run, allow the motor to cool off so the overload switch can automatically reset. Ensure the tank pressure is below the pressure switch's cut-in point, which will allow the motor to start automatically. Inspect the extension cord for proper gauge and length. Remove and clean or replace the check valve. Check wiring connections inside the pressure switch and terminal box. For potential motor or starting capacitor issues, consult a Trained Service Technician. Ensure the compressor isn't being used in a paint spray area. Bleed the line by pushing the lever on the pressure switch to the "OFF" position; if the valve doesn't open, replace the switch. Check the fuse box for blown fuses and replace them as needed, or reset the circuit breaker. Don't use ...
