I have this and sometimes after electric compressor fills tank and stops, it hisses and loses pressure. Sometimes it doesn't. Anyone know how to fix?

Have you drain the water out of the tank, and the hissing is the hose going to the tank from the compressor is loose put a clamp on it

After the compressor shuts off, it must dump the air pressure on the cylinder head in order to start again. The his you hear is the cylinder relief valve. If it keeps dumping the air then there may be a dirt particles causing. After you locate the valve, try gently tapping it as it unloads. The proper name for it is an unloader.

Make sure the thumb screw on the very bottom of the tank is tight I had the same thing happen to me I thought I was going nuts

When I use mine, I let it come up to pressure and it stops itself somewhat over 120psi at the tank. I have the output side of the regulator set to about 50 psi for filling tires on vehicles. Part way through filling up a tire the compressor will turn on again to bring the tank up to pressure again. If you are expecting the compressor to turn off at what you have set the regulator to, that is now how it works. The compressor will always fill the tank with its "normal" operating pressure and the regulator outputs the selected pressure.

I haven't had that problem and I use my machine daily so I would say no, it's not normal. If it's not the outlet (do other appliances work using that same outlet?), the tank isn't empty, it sounds like the machine broke.

It's most likely a defective unit, I have one and it works constantly until the tank runs out

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!!!!

My motor took on some water when the D.E. filter overflowed due to two much pressure. When I went to turn on the pump a brief spark shot out from the motor. I let it dry overnight after checking the capacitor which was fine. When I turn on the circuit breaker all I hear is an electrical humming sound. What is the diagnosis do you think?

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.

Im not sure if you found the answer to your question or if it got fixed, but in my case it was a clogged tip and line. Im thinking it maybe a clog in the line or tip. Also check the cylinder, it may need some grease work. hope this helped.

Make sure your contacts on the heater and breaker panel haven't loosened. We had the same issue with a pump and the neutral had become loose from the vibration.

I had an issue with air in the propane line. It works fine now. Disconnect the line Thenreconnected again

I wired mine to a switch so that I can turn it off at night. You wouldn't want an air leak or pressure switch malfunction while you were sleeping. This tank does not have a over pressure relief valve. My pressure switch got stuck on (salt water induced) and my tank filled up to 265psi before I caught it. So in my truck I ran a T off the tank and put a small gauge inside to moniter pressure. use a relay to provide power to the compressor using an ignition accessory signal to control the relay or if you want to use a switch inside, run constant power to the compressor and run the ground side through the switch. This is safer and won't melt the switch. Remember to always fuse the power side. I'm using a 20 amp which works fine. Good luck!

Sometimes I have this problem if I don't completely release all of the pressure. If that doesn't work, use a little oil and run it as close to the seal as possible.

not understanding, is your pump running when u are not using it? Did you adjust the PSI of the tank with the recommended setting from your pump before using it?

I have not encountered this issue with my grill, however this sounds like a faulty tank or a bad regulator. In my past I have seen tanks do this. I suggest trying a different tank and see if that works.

The unit is still in for repair. The tank pressure gauge didn't work when I first pulled it out of the box. I would be very interested to see if I get an after market replacement gauge when I get it back.

must be a pressure demand. I use mine on a 5 or 7gal tank and it works fine. I have noticed that it automatically cuts off after about 1/2 hour. I like that but didn't see anything stating that this is supposed to happen. I have been pleased with the heater.

I had an issue with air in the propane line check that out.it works perfectly fine now.
