What to do if my Kobalt K13015F will not run?

  If your Kobalt Air Compressor isn't running, there could be several reasons. First, ensure the unit is properly plugged in and check the fuse or breaker. A blown shop/house fuse could be the issue, so replace it. Also, reset any open shop/house breakers, investigating why it tripped. The motor might have a thermal overload, in which case it will restart once cooled. Check the proper use of the extension cord. If the tank is full of air, the compressor will turn on when the tank pressure drops to the cut-in pressure. If none of these solutions work, the pressure switch might be faulty.

Why does my Kobalt K13015F Air Compressor repeatedly blow fuses or trip the circuit breaker?
- K
  kmillerAug 10, 2025
  Repeatedly blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers in your Kobalt Air Compressor setup could stem from a few causes. It may be due to an incorrect fuse size or a circuit overload. Check for the proper fuse and consider using a time-delay fuse. Try disconnecting other electrical appliances from the circuit or operating the compressor on its own branch circuit. Another potential cause is using the wrong gauge wire or an extension cord that's too long; ensure you're using the proper gauge wire and cord length.

Why does the motor on my Kobalt K13015F Air Compressor hum but not run or runs slowly?

  Jerry RomeroAug 16, 2025
  If your Kobalt Air Compressor motor hums but doesn't run or runs slowly, it could be due to low voltage. Check the voltage with a voltmeter. Another possibility is an incorrect gauge or length of the extension cord. Ensure you are using the proper gauge wire and cord length.

What to do if the thermal overload protector on my Kobalt Air Compressor cuts out repeatedly?
- K
  Kristen GutierrezAug 26, 2025
  If the thermal overload protector on your Kobalt Air Compressor is cutting out repeatedly, it might be due to low voltage, so check with a voltmeter. Another cause could be inadequate ventilation or a room temperature that's too high; move the compressor to a well-ventilated area. Also, check that you are using the correct gauge wire and cord length for the extension cord.
