What to do if my Ingersoll-Rand NVC compressor will not start (no hum)?
- MMary TurnerAug 20, 2025
If the compressor does not start and there is no hum, consider these potential causes: the line disconnect switch may be open, a fuse may be removed or blown, the overload protector may have tripped, the control may be stuck in the open position, or the wiring may be improper or loose. To address this, close the start or disconnect switch, inspect and replace the fuse if necessary, allow the internal overload to cool and reset (checking motor windings and starting amps), repair or replace the control, and ensure the wiring is correctly connected.
