What does it mean if your air compressor is not working?
If there’s a blowback of air, it means your compressor’s intake port is defective. Depending on the design of your compressor machine, uninstall the intake filter and start the ignition. You will feel streams of air coming out of the intake port with your hands. Problems Due To Defective Valves – Check Compressor Pressure Valve (Flapper)
What happens when the Flapper on an air compressor fails?
When pressure valves (flappers) fail, there’ll be an unavoidable loss of torque and pressure. Normally, compressor pistons make upward and downward strokes. When there’s pressure build-up in the cylinder, it forces the pressure valve to open. This action leads to compression of atmospheric air.
How does an air compressor build up pressure?
Air from outside the pump head rushes into the cylinder through the intake filter. Then the piston moves into the compression cycle, and the air pressure building up inside the cylinder forces the intake valve closed. In the image below, on this air compressor pump, the intake filter is circled in red.

Why is my Sullair 185 air compressor not shutting down?
It won’t start until it cools down because the temp switch is still open. Once it cools down the contacts inside the switch will be touching again thus, completing the circuit. This goes for both the engine and compressor temp switches. This is an easy fix luckily.
