What to do if MAYEKAWA M Series motor stops shortly after starting?
- D
  Darryl CarlsonAug 20, 2025
  If your MAYEKAWA Air Compressor motor stops shortly after starting, it might be due to the OP (low oil pressure failure protection equipment) being activated because of refrigerant oil rundown or low oil pressure. In this case, supply oil or adjust the oil pressure. Alternatively, the HP (high pressure protection equipment) might be activated due to excessive discharge pressure caused by the condenser being filled with non-condensable gas, so purge air from the condenser.

  If the condenser temperature of your MAYEKAWA Air Compressor is warmer than usual, it could be due to a cooling water shortage or excessively high cooling water temperature. Increase the volume of cooling water, or lower the cooling water temperature.

What to do if MAYEKAWA M Series magnet switch button has no reply?
- L
  Lisa SmithAug 25, 2025
  If there's no response when pressing the magnet switch button on your MAYEKAWA Air Compressor, check if the breakers have tripped and replace them if needed. Also, inspect and replace the magnet switch contact if it has failed, or if the protection switch is being pressed. Inspect and replace any electric wires that are cut off. Finally, ensure the OP (low oil pressure failure protection equipment) or HP (high pressure protection equipment) is reset (restored).

  If the head cover of your MAYEKAWA Air Compressor is overheated, it may be due to insufficient cooling water distribution or a dirty cooling pipe. Distribute water evenly, or clean the cooling pipe.

What to do if my MAYEKAWA Air Compressor motor does not operate?

  If your MAYEKAWA Air Compressor motor does not operate, there could be several reasons. It could be due to motor failure, in which case you should inspect and repair or replace the motor. The belt tension might be too high, requiring adjustment. A voltage drop could also be the cause. If, upon removing the belt and rotating the pulley by hand, the pulley still doesn't rotate, there may be a failure of the cylinder sleeve, piston, ring, or metal part (shaft seal component), requiring inspection and repair or replacement. Lastly, there might be a failure or mistake in the automatic control and electric related connections (single phase), which would need inspection and repair.

  If the cooling water temperature of your MAYEKAWA Air Compressor's evaporative condenser is warm, it could be due to fan failure or clogged spray nozzle and strainer. Inspect, repair, and clean the affected components.

Why is my MAYEKAWA M Series Air Compressor head cover overheated with high discharge and suction pressure?
- D
  Daniel ByrdAug 31, 2025
  If the head cover of your MAYEKAWA Air Compressor is overheated, accompanied by high discharge and suction pressure, it could be because the compression ratio has increased due to increased condensed temperature or refrigerant load. Increase cooling water for the condenser, or higher the cooling water temperature.

What to do if MAYEKAWA M Series Air Compressor magnet switch button is energized then turns off?
- D
  davischristineSep 2, 2025
  If the MAYEKAWA Air Compressor magnet switch button is energized when pressed but turns off when released, it may be due to a mistake in connection (automatic control related connections), which requires inspection and repair. Alternatively, there could be a contact defect of the auxiliary contact or equivalent, which needs inspection and repair or replacement.

Why is MAYEKAWA M Series upper condenser warm but lower part not?
- J
  Jesse LesterSep 4, 2025
  If the upper part of your MAYEKAWA Air Compressor's condenser is warm while the lower part is not, and the crankcase easily becomes frosty, it indicates that refrigerant or refrigerant oil is accumulating in the condenser, resulting in a small cooling area. This could be due to a clogged pipe between the condenser and receiver, so inspect, adjust, and unclog it. It could also be due to excessive refrigerant, so wipe off the refrigerant.

What causes continuous metal sound in MAYEKAWA Air Compressor?
- J
  James BookerSep 6, 2025
  A continuous metal sound in your MAYEKAWA Air Compressor can be caused by foreign material stuck between the cylinder head and piston; in this case, disassemble, maintain, and replace the components. It may also be due to damaged discharge valve, suction valve, and piston ring, requiring disassembly and replacement.
