Any idea why when it gets up to pressure and turns of or if I manually turn it off it immediately starts to blow of air from the switch?

pretty sure nobody else has gotten this right, there is a one way check valve between the tank and compressor head, and between the check valve and compressor head (or tapped into the compressor head) there is a T for the unloader line, the job of the unloader is so that when you start the compressor up it has 0 psi (compared to the "on" psi of say 90psi) at the head so it can gain momentum before meeting tank pressure, if the check valve has gone bad due to heat cooking it then the spring and ball has fallen inside the tank and the unloader is trying to relieve the head pressure but bleeds out the tank pressure, and usually after a few nail biting moments it stops, but not always here is the check valve I am talking about, it has the unloader port in it http://www.amazon.com/New-tank-Check-valve-compressor/dp/B003H7ITEW/ref=pd_sim_hi_52?ie=UTF8&refRID=1ENQAXSPBF40CB3GR23M

I bought several switches; ONE has this issue. I called my electrician and he said I might have a problem with a house fire !!! so I had better replace the switch. I went to Home Depot and the guy there said he felt it was a defective switch and to replace it SAP. You can never be too careful with electricity. Hope this helps.

There should be no air coming out, probably a bad valve. Try putting a 3 in 1 oil in, valve might be sticky.

You need to squeeze the valve while you blow into it. It is a bit hard to do at first, but does loosen up after you use it a bit. Hope that helps!

May just be overheating like mine was. After I blew dust out of the fan and back compartment of tv, I taped blue switch that is inside lamp compartment cover down and haven't had any problems since. There is a you tube video showing this process

Mine is doing the same thing. But it does run strong for the few seconds it does run. Suspect the printed circuit board. It is a two speed motor, so if you tap the button a second time quickly before it turns off, it runs in the "low" mode.

usually only when using the air compressor if your 'CONNECTION' is loose at the fillup valve it will turn the unit off and then back on...unless you INSURE a TIGHT CONNECTION.

That shouldn't happen. Maybe the load resistors are too much. Try upping the fuses that are blowing

It sounds like your using to much air pressure. Turn down the PSI on your compressor. it should be no more than 90 PSI. On my compressor there is a knob you can use to turn down the air pressure. I made sure I was at 90 PSI and it worked great. Hope that helps

This happened to be but it was because I had not connected the light mechanism. I wanted to see if my electrical connections worked before I installed the light housing so I turned the fan on and click, nothing. After I plugged in the light mechanism the fan began to spin. Btw, I never used the red wire coming from the house....hope this helps.

when plugged mine in, the bottom fan should start up automatcally. it doesnt have a turn off or on, just plug it in or unplug. i would return it asap. :-)

I had an issue with the switch mechanism. When hooked directly to the battery, life is good. But when their switch is put inline, it doesn't. I replaced the fuse to no avail. I think got out my ohm meter and checked the fuse and the switch. The switch turned out to be bad. I'm now left with either returning the whole thing or just rigging up a toggle switch that I can buy at Home Depot.

If it is plugged and power switch is on position, you have a malfunctioned devise. I recommend to ask for the waranty.

Actually it can do either. I think the trick is to make sure the switch is in the off position before plugging in the power. It is easily left in the on position after previous use where it shut itself off (but switch stays "on"). If you make sure it is off first, then it always shuts off correctly after reaching desired pressure. So check switch is off, connect power, connect air hose, check pressure desired, turn on. If I have to turn off then on, it keeps running after reaching desired pressure.

Have never had that problem, and we have two of them. I would say its a malfunction. Either a problem in your wiring or a defective switch.

Mine did that once, but I just held the button down for a few seconds and it turned itself off. Hope that helps.

I run it off the power oulet and have never had any issues. Could be something wrong with the compressor. May want to exchange it for another one.
