Why is my ELGi TS15 overheating?
- K
  Kevin HernandezAug 7, 2025
  Your ELGi Air Compressor may be overheating due to several reasons: the oil may be dirty, requiring an oil change; the oil level might be low, needing you to fill it to the maximum level with the correct grade of oil; the cylinder and cooler fins could be dirty, requiring cleaning with compressed air or manually; the breather valve may not be working; or the rotation might not be correct, requiring you to interchange two of the incoming power feeds to the motor.

What to do if there is oil carry over in compressed air from my ELGi Air Compressor?
- E
  Eric YoungAug 12, 2025
  If you notice oil carry over in the compressed air from your ELGi Air Compressor, it could be due to a dirty air filter, which requires replacement. Alternatively, the oil level might be too high, needing adjustment to the correct level. It could also be that the oil viscosity is too low, requiring a change to the recommended grade. Other potential causes include a non-functioning breather, stuck or broken piston rings (change rings as a set), or excessive clearance between the piston and cylinder, which needs checking and changing as required.

What causes cylinder, piston and ring wear in ELGi Air Compressors?
- M
  Meghan WeaverAug 17, 2025
  Cylinder, piston, and ring wear in ELGi Air Compressors can be attributed to inadequate filter maintenance, suggesting an increase in the frequency of cleaning or changing the filter. It may also be caused by insufficient oil change frequency, indicating a need to increase the frequency with more periodic checks of the oil. Another possible cause is using an incorrect grade of oil, which requires changing to the correct grade.

What to do if my ELGi TS15 Air Compressor does not unload?

  Randall MartinAug 22, 2025
  If your ELGi Air Compressor isn't unloading, the unloader tubing might be blocked, so you should open and clean it. Alternatively, the unloader itself may be defective, so you should replace the pressure switch.

Why is there oil leaking through the breather valve of my ELGi TS15?
- D
  Dana LewisAug 27, 2025
  Oil leaking through the breather valve of your ELGi Air Compressor can occur if the piston rings are stuck or broken, requiring you to change the rings as a set. It could also be due to a breather valve that is not working, which means you should check all related parts for wear. Another possibility is excessive clearance between the piston and cylinder, so check and change as required.

  Water or rust formation in the crankcase of your ELGi Air Compressor may be due to a faulty breather valve. Check and replace the breather.
