Why is my Craftsman Air Compressor not supplying enough air?
- J
  Jeffrey BowenAug 17, 2025
  Your Craftsman Air Compressor might not be supplying enough air due to prolonged excessive use, or the compressor might not be large enough for the air requirement. Other potential causes include a hole in the hose, a restricted check valve, air leaks, a restricted air intake filter, or a loose belt. To resolve this, decrease the amount of air usage or consider a larger compressor if the accessory's air requirement is too high. Check and replace the hose if needed. Remove and clean, or replace the check valve. Tighten any loose fittings. Clean or replace the air intake filter, ensuring you operate the compressor with the filter installed. Finally, check the belt tension.

How to fix air leaks at fittings on my Craftsman 919.167802 Air Compressor?
- M
  millermariaAug 22, 2025
  If you notice air leaks at the fittings of your Craftsman Air Compressor, the tube fittings may 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's safety valve is leaking air, there might be a defect in the safety valve. Try manually operating the safety valve by pulling on the ring. If the valve continues to leak, it should be replaced.

What to do if air leaks at or inside the check valve of my Craftsman 919.167802 Air Compressor?
- E
  Elizabeth ScottAug 27, 2025
  If you have air leaks at or inside the check valve of your Craftsman Air Compressor, the check valve seat might be damaged. A defective check valve can cause a constant air leak at the pressure release valve when the tank is pressurized and the compressor is off. Replace the check valve.

What to do if air leaks in the air tank of my Craftsman 919.167802?
- J
  Jessica HernandezAug 30, 2025
  If there are air leaks in the air tank or at the air tank welds of your Craftsman Air Compressor, the air tank must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the leak due to the risk of bursting. Never drill into, weld, or otherwise modify the air tank, as this will weaken it and could cause it to rupture or explode.

What causes excessive tank pressure in my Craftsman Air Compressor?
- R
  robertshawSep 2, 2025
  Excessive tank pressure in your Craftsman Air Compressor, causing the safety valve to pop off, can occur if the pressure switch doesn't shut off the motor when the compressor reaches the cut-out pressure, or if the pressure switch cut-out is set too high. Move the On/Auto/Off lever to the "OFF" position; if the outfit does not shut off, contact a Trained Service Technician.

How to troubleshoot a knocking noise in my Craftsman 919.167802 Air Compressor?
- M
  Mrs. Linda HensonSep 4, 2025
  A knocking noise in your Craftsman Air Compressor could be due to several reasons: a possible defect in the safety valve, a defective check valve, a loose pulley or flywheel, loose compressor mounting screws, a loose belt, carbon build-up in the pump, or a belt that is too tight. Operate the safety valve manually by pulling on the ring; if the valve still leaks, replace it. Remove and clean, or replace the check valve. Tighten the pulley set screw to 145-165 in.-lbs and the flywheel screw to 33-37 ft.-lbs. Tighten the mounting screws to 20-25 ft.-lbs. Also, check the belt tension.

Why does the regulated pressure gauge drop when using accessories with my Craftsman 919.167802 Air Compressor?
- A
  Anna WestSep 7, 2025
  It's normal for some pressure drop to occur on the regulated pressure gauge of your Craftsman Air Compressor when using accessories. However, if the pressure drop is excessive, adjust the regulator as instructed in the Operation section. Make sure to adjust the regulated pressure under flow conditions, meaning while the accessory is being used.
