What to do if Porter-Cable CPFC2TV3520W Air Compressor is not supplying enough air?
- D
  Daniel NguyenAug 21, 2025
  If your Porter-Cable air compressor isn't providing sufficient air, it could be due to prolonged excessive air use, the compressor being too small for the accessory's requirements, a restricted air intake filter, a hole in the hose, a restricted check valve, or air leaks. To resolve this: * Reduce air usage. * Verify the accessory's air requirements and consider a larger compressor if needed. * Clean or replace the air intake filter. * Inspect and replace the hose if there are any holes. * Clean or replace the check valve. * Tighten any loose fittings to address air leaks, referring to the Air Leaks Section of the Troubleshooting Guide.

  If there's an air leak coming from the safety valve on your Porter-Cable air compressor, there might be a defect in the safety valve itself. Try manually operating the safety valve by pulling on the ring. If the valve continues to leak after that, it should be replaced.

  If you're experiencing air leaks at the pressure switch release valve of your Porter-Cable air compressor, it could be due to a malfunctioning pressure switch release valve or a malfunctioning check valve. Remove and replace the release valve. A malfunctioning check valve results in a constant air leak at the pressure release valve when pressure is in the tank and the compressor is shut off. Drain tank then remove and clean or replace check valve. Do not overtighten.

Why does Porter-Cable Air Compressor regulator knob has continuous air leak?
- J
  Jacqueline LambAug 30, 2025
  A continuous air leak from the regulator knob, or if the regulator won't shut off the air outlet, it may be caused by the pressure release valve on the pressure switch not unloading head pressure, or a damaged regulator. Contact an Authorized Warranty Service Center for replacement.

Drain the tank, then remove and clean or replace the check valve. Do not overtighten.

  If you discover air leaks in the air tank or at the air tank welds of your Porter-Cable air compressor, it indicates a damaged air tank. Do not attempt to drill into, weld, or otherwise modify the air tank as this will weaken it, potentially leading to rupture or explosion. The tank must be replaced.

What to do if Porter-Cable CPFC2TV3520W Air Compressor has excessive tank pressure?
- T
  tracyrobinsonSep 8, 2025
  If your Porter-Cable air compressor exhibits excessive tank pressure, causing the safety valve to pop off, it may be due to the pressure switch not shutting off the motor when the compressor reaches the cut-out pressure, or the pressure switch cut-out being set too high. First, move the pressure switch lever to the OFF position. If the unit doesn’t shut off and the electrical contacts are welded together, replace the pressure switch. Contact an authorized service center to check and replace the pressure switch.
