What to do if VIAIR 45044 Air Compressor airflow is lower than normal?
If your VIAIR Air Compressor's airflow is lower than normal, or it cannot pump to higher pressures, it might be due to a worn piston ring or inlet valve. To resolve this, you will need to service or replace the compressor.
What to do if my VIAIR 45044 Air Compressor will not run?
If your VIAIR Air Compressor won't run, first ensure that the power switch is in the ON position. If it still doesn't run, check the fuse. Disconnect the compressor from the power source before replacing the fuse, and refer to the Specifications section for the correct fuse amperage. Also, the motor may have overheated. If so, let the compressor cool off for about 30 minutes to allow the thermal overload switch to reset.
Why does the thermal overload protector cut out repeatedly on my VIAIR 45044 Air Compressor?
If the thermal overload protector in your VIAIR Air Compressor cuts out repeatedly, it could be due to a lack of proper ventilation or a high ambient temperature. Try moving the compressor to a well-ventilated area or an area with a lower ambient temperature. Alternatively, the compressor valves may have failed, requiring you to service or replace the compressor.
How to fix excessive knocking or rattling in VIAIR 45044?
If your VIAIR Air Compressor has excessive knocking or rattling sounds, it could be due to a worn bearing on the eccentric or motor shaft, or a worn cylinder or piston ring. In either case, you should service or replace the compressor.
