If your VIAIR Air Compressor runs continuously and the safety valve opens, it could be due to a faulty pressure switch or a defective safety valve. Try replacing the pressure switch or the safety valve to resolve this issue.
What to do if my VIAIR 380C runs continuously and has low airflow?
If your VIAIR Air Compressor runs continuously and the airflow is lower than normal, the issue could stem from several causes: * Excessive air usage: Decrease air usage. * Loose connections: Check all connections with a soap and water solution and tighten them. * Worn piston ring or inlet valve: Replace the compressor. * Clogged air filter element: Replace the air filter element.
Why will my VIAIR 380C not run?
If your VIAIR Air Compressor will not run, there are several potential causes: 1. No power or the power switch is in the OFF position: Ensure the compressor switch is ON. 2. Blown fuse: Disconnect the compressor from the power source and replace the fuse. Check the specifications section for the correct fuse amperage. 3. Motor overheats: Allow the compressor to cool off for about 30 minutes to allow the thermal overload switch to reset. 4. Faulty pressure switch: Replace the pressure switch.
How to fix a VIAIR Air Compressor when tank pressure drops after shut off?
If the tank pressure drops when your VIAIR Air Compressor shuts off, it could be due to: * A loose drain cock: Tighten the drain cock. * A leaking check valve: Replace the check valve or the compressor. * Loose connections: Check all connections with a soap and water solution and tighten them.
Why does the thermal overload protector cut out repeatedly on my VIAIR 380C Air Compressor?
If the thermal overload protector in your VIAIR Air Compressor cuts out repeatedly, it could be due to: * Lack of proper ventilation or high ambient temperature: Move the compressor to a well-ventilated area or an area with a lower ambient temperature. * Failed compressor valves: Replace the compressor.
How to reduce excessive moisture in VIAIR 380C discharge?
Excessive moisture in the discharge of your VIAIR Air Compressor may be due to: * Excessive water in the air tank: Drain the tank, tilting it to ensure complete drainage. Drain the tank more frequently. * High humidity: Move the compressor to an area with less humidity or use an airline filter.
What causes excessive knocking or rattling in a VIAIR Air Compressor?
Excessive knocking or rattling in your VIAIR Air Compressor can be caused by: * Loose mounting bolts: Tighten the bolts. * Worn bearing on the eccentric or motor shaft: Replace the bearing or piston assembly. * Worn cylinder or piston ring: Replace the piston or compressor.
