Black and Decker Air Station: Pump needs a new valve.

Thu, 22 Sep 2022 00:16:47 -0700

I have a very old Black & Decker Air Station. It's an electric air pump great for pumping up car tires etc. So despite being probably 20 years old, it still works great, with one catch. Like most pump valves, when you flip the lever back, it squishes a piece of rubber that squeezes the valve of the tube/wheel, which creates the seal. Well after 20 years, the rubber in my valve is completely dry-rotted. If I could get a new valve, this old pump would be as good as new. But as it stands now, you can't use the pump because all the air the pump tries to put in the tube, just escapes out of the pump's poor seal around the tube's valve.

Campbell Hausfeld FP204800: Why does my compressor take so long to get up to maximum pressure?

Thu, 08 Dec 2022 16:28:15 -0700

It takes several minutes, more than 20, to get up to maximum pressure. Also after a couple of cycles the compressor won’t start again.

MiTM Air Compressors AM1HE0205HD 2014: Tough to get going. Blows fuse a couple seconds after turning on

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 10:22:04 -0700

Takes multiple ( 15-20) tries to fully Start and build pressure. With tank at 0 psi flip switch to run and it starts turning over slowly then pops the fuse. Wait for fuse to reset and turn on and same thing slowly turns over then blows fuse. This continues over and over till it warms up???? And finally stays on and builds pressure. What do you think it could be? Capacitors??? Head gasket?? Any suggestions would be appreciated. After it gets going it runs and restarts fine

My compressor won’t build air. I think it’s leaking where the gauges and the pressure regulator connect to the compressor itself. What tool do I need to take the housing apart?

I have this air compressor, when their is air in the tank the motor will stall. Sounds like the unloader valve. But the diagram does not list anything as an unloader valve. Is this valve part of another assembly?

Air Compressor: Open Amp Sensor error in GD compressor

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 21:27:47 -0700

Hi

I am working on Gardner Denver Compressor model Electra Saver.
I recently came across an error message Shutdown 'Open Amp Sensor'

This error message popped up within few minutes upon turning on. There is a light on the Compressor motor as seen in above pic, don't know what it means. The motor doesn't get hot.

After pressing Reset & then Constant run, the compressor runs, in most of the cases - all day. But sometimes it stops after running for few hours with above error message.

I tried to look thru the manual but couldn't find above Error message.
Any thoughts what this error is for & how to fix it?

Thanks

MiTM Air Compressors AM1HE0205HD 2014: Why does my compressor keep triping reset button

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 10:23:25 -0700

Compressor starts up and blows reset button after building about 20 to 40 pounds of pressure, if I flip the on off switch a couple of times it will let me reset the button , then it runs again and does the same thing, it will keep building up pressure to 120psi.
