What is the "PTC" listed on the drawing? Compressor tries and fails to start.! start cap? Is it replaceable by knowlegeable individual? Do you sell

It probably is a start cap if it's not a bad connection, somewhere,, if it's a bad cap, might cost ya bout 20 dollars,, if that doesnt fix it, trash it, there to mechanically involved, something else will go out,,, I recommend a small office/dorm size freezer,, has no mechanical parts except the pump, and just make your cubes manually,, good luck

my compressor stopped working also. However, since it was fully charged I did not attempt to charge it and considered it dead and purchased another since the warranty had expired. Will never purchase another Peak ever!!!!

For a few bucks it would be worth it to replace the capacitor, but I went ahead and replaced the motor cause it was less work and less risk of shock. Being that I don't have the proper equipment to discharge the capacitor.The new motor is working well and was worth a quarter of the price of a new pump. If the capacitor doesn't work. Your still coming out better then having to replace the pump. Cheers my friend. Hope things work out for you.

I have installed many different switches on many different compressors and most require some modifications. I googled your compressor and it does look the same. The air supply for the unload is in the same position is important and also if the air inlet is the same size makes it easier. Most are 1/4" pipe thread

Hello...if you don't have anything turn on its probably a bad board...if the electronics are working then set if for the lowest setting and see if it kicks on...compressors usually go at some point but when I first set mine up I had it set too high and it didn't get much water at first...when I set it under 50% if worked better

Hmmm.. Did you know this compressor is sold all over the internet? Many different brand names but the same compressor. I just bought mine so I can't confirm the complaints, but it seems to me that there is a tank associated with this one. It's supposed to cut off after the pressure reaches the limit that is set. If you don't know anything about compressors, you should really read up on them before operating.

I have one that was on a job site that we used maybe 2-3 times a week with finish guns that is 1 year old now that quit working about 4 months ago. So after 8 months of use, the motor stopped working. I sent it in because it was still under warranty but they said it was to dirty to honor the warranty. I spent 500 bucks on what I thought was a air compressor that I would have for many years but this was not the case. I ended up going to Home Depot and buying a makita compressor. California air tools is a really small company. When I got the compressor it had some small issues strait out of the box. some of the screws were loose and there was some small damage to the stainless steel face plate. You can tell from opening the box that it was not a big organized company. It looked like a 5 year old packaged it up with a little bubble wrap and tape. No foam padding that was molded to the machine. I would not buy this!! Keep away!! Its not even that quite. My Makita is just a little louder then the Cal air tool. Hope this helps and good luck. Thanks, Matt

Hello Rich. What is the original compressor you are replacing? The J7 is the trade channel the compressor is sold under.

can you hear the compressor working is so it might just be a block in the tubingif you don't hear it workingif you don't hear it working it's probably the compressor I only had mine for a yearbut I read the comments on Amazon and bought the warranty just in casetalk to me after Halloween I'll let you know if it works still

Mine has functioned the same since new. It's really a nice reliable compressor. I believe a replacement of the crankcase oil is probably the best thing to do at some point.

All I can add is that I used my compressor frequently and have not experienced that problem. Contact the manufacturer.

Hi - Like you, I really like this unit. My I suggest contacting the mfg. If anyone can help it should be them. Best of luck!

yeah. that is how it works. the fan stays on while the compressor un-freezes. Sorry to hear you bought one of those. They are pretty lousy and low quality. Mine died after very little use just after the warranty ran out.

It's more about how much air the compressor will put out per minute. You will have to stop fairly frequently to let your setup catch up if you are painting something that is large. I have/had a set of these guns. You can't use them straight out of the box. Totally take them apart and clean all the junk out of them and take the plastic gasket, that divides the nozzle from the paint chamber, and some 800 grit sandpaper and on a flat surface, lap the gasket flat (can't remember if it's the front or back side but you'll be able to tell which one should be smooth). Mine leaked air, very badly, into the paint chamber. Every time I squeezed the trigger, you could see bubbles percolating through the paint. Lapping that hard plastic gasket stopped that. Don't expect to be able to spray a candy with these guns. The pattern(s) on mine is/are too inconsistent. I ended up buying a different gun to shoot my base/clear. Matt

it appears so. However in my case this start capacitor still failed to start my compressor. I put on a hard start Capacitor and my frig has been working like a champ for the past 4 or 5 months.
