How to troubleshoot MasterCraft 058-7936-6 Air Compressor motor that will not run?
- JJessica TaylorAug 2, 2025
To prevent the motor from failing to start, ensure the power cord is properly plugged into a grounded outlet. Also, verify that the pressure switch is in the “ON” or “AUTO” position. If using an extension cord, check the specifications to ensure it's the correct gauge wire and length. Additionally, if the motor thermal overload switch has tripped, turn off the air compressor, allow the motor to cool, and then check the motor circuit breaker. Finally, examine the fuse or circuit breaker, replacing or resetting it as necessary, and ensure the fuse amperage is correct. Low voltage conditions can also prevent starting.
