    Why does my jobmate Air Compressor pressure relief valve keep opening?
    • I
      Isabel SmallAug 2, 2025
      The pressure relief valve on your Jobmate Air Compressor might be opening because the tank pressure has exceeded the normal operating pressure or the pressure switch is stuck. In both cases, the suggested solution is to replace the pressure switch.

      If your Jobmate Air Compressor is overheating, relocate it to an area with cool, dry, and well-circulated air. Also, clean all cooling surfaces of the pump and motor thoroughly, and replace any worn parts, reassembling with new seals.

    How to fix excessive starting and stopping of jobmate Air Compressor?
    • K
      Kevin MooreAug 21, 2025
      To address excessive starting and stopping of your Jobmate Air Compressor, check fittings for leaks using soapy water, and tighten or reseal any leaking fittings, being careful not to overtighten. Replace any worn parts, reassembling with new seals, and replace any faulty seals. Note that some starting and stopping is normal. If the pressure drops too low, adjust the regulator while using the accessory. Check the air requirement of the accessory. If it is higher than the CFM and pressure supplied by the compressor you need a larger compressor. Most accessories are rated at 25% of actual CFM while running continuously. If the problem persists, consult an electrician.

    How to troubleshoot low pressure, not enough air and continuous running jobmate Air Compressor?
    • P
      Paula JonesAug 27, 2025
      To troubleshoot low pressure, insufficient air, or continuous running in your Jobmate Air Compressor, close the valve and decrease usage. Check the air requirement of the accessory. If it is higher than the CFM and pressure supplied by the compressor, you need a larger compressor. Most accessories are rated at 25% of actual CFM while running continuously. Remove and clean or replace the air hose, checking for holes and replacing if necessary. Replace the tank immediately if needed, without attempting repairs. Replace any faulty seals, and replace worn parts, reassembling with new seals.

    What to do if my jobmate 58-7992-0 motor will not run?
    • T
      Tyler JohnsonNov 7, 2025
      If your Jobmate Air Compressor motor isn't running, there are several potential causes: * The tank pressure might exceed the preset pressure switch limit. In this case, the motor will start automatically when the tank pressure drops below the kick-in pressure. * The motor overload protection might have been tripped. Allow the motor to cool off; the overload switch will reset automatically, which may take several minutes. * A fuse might be blown, or a circuit breaker tripped. Replace the blown fuse or reset the circuit breaker, ensuring you don't use a fuse or circuit breaker with a higher rating than specified for your circuit branch. A 'Fusetron' Type T fuse is acceptable. * Check for low voltage and discontinue the use of an extension cord. * Disconnect other applications from...
