OK, if you pull the wire off the pressure switch with the tank full of air, past the normal cut out by 10 PSI, and the compressor stops and when you connect the wire again the compressor starts even with a full charge of air in the tank, then its pretty much got to be a bum switch.

All, View If I let all the air out of it it will come on and run, but after it pressures up and turns off, it will do the same thing trying to come back on.

Inside the tube is a spring and small plastic plug that blocks the bleed off tube when the motor is off.Of course, theres no picture or part # for this cheap copper piece. I thought about replacing the whole line but then Ive also gotta replace the elbow for the line entering the pump (because the thread size is the same on both ends of the line which again, seem to be non-standard) and Id have to buy a tube bending tool which I dont have to do it all right. Any ideas on the issue? The 26 gallon 1.5 Kobalt compressors I see are direct drive. The issue Im having is while using the compressor without warning air starts rushing up around the regulator knob. Or, you can make up your own using brass fittings from a hardware store, getting rid of the original cast manifold completely. If they are cast, thats a problem, though if they bent and didnt break, presumably they can be straighted. Now I see it. Then using air tools pressure dropped well below the 120psi kick in pressure, but the motor never came on again. The wrong check valve was sent to me so will send back. Four hundredths isnt a lot but its definitely enough to prevent this thing from threading up. Be good for folks know what model of compressor, Julian, and what about it makes you feel that way. My capacitors tested out as good. Having the same symptoms that I described earlier. I also notice that despite storing the compressor at basically full pressure (and no hose attached), when I go to use it days/weeks later, the tank pressure has typically leaked down considerably, to around 50-80 PSI. Please advise what you mean by a check valve, and even, maybe, upload a photo? Best I can suggest is if you can get one of the bolts then visit an industrial hardware outfit and ask them to identify the thread and supply another like it, though maybe take it up a notch in terms of bolt strength. Ill buy a new 8gal Husky compressor for $100 before taking on that level of investment/time farting around with this one. If not, get the fittings to make your own. As to which is better, Husky or Kobalt, thought I dont know for sure, I wouldnt be surprised to learn they were made by the same factory. Take the cover off and see whats what underneath. Any suggestions? Whats under the cover, Chip? Or ? Is it worth trying to get a newer pump/regulator assembly to replace the digital regulator? Havent had any trouble since. If the piston cap is not screwed on (I cannot see into the hole in the end of it) and this were mine Id oil the crap out of the seal to try and make it slippery enough to allow a curved pick to slide underneath to pop it off.

I need a manifold part # E101627..all sites say discontinued. While building pressure the unloader pin is now down (extended) and it I push on it air is released. It must have something to do with the power drain thru the lines or circuit in the garage. Get the cover off, and see where the wire from the ON/OFF switch goes. Im done wasting time and energy trying to chase down what should be a simple standard part for this PoS.

Whether you want the aggravation or not is up to you and your available time and skills. Is the smell a burning belt, or is it coming off the motor? It gets light to moderate use. If air is leaking from the bottom of the pressure switch, thats an indication that the tank check valve is leaking. Its supposed to vent air when the compressor is off, and close to stop air escaping when the compressor is on. I have an older Kobalt 10 gal 1.5 HP KLA1581009. When, not if, it does, who looks after you? I dont believe that the bending of the heat sink fins, particularly if they can be carefully straightened, is a bid issue. The bolt worked loose again,in a very short time. Here are some pics. Joseph, what black box are you referring to? Its hard to visualize as we cannot see your compressor. Yeah if you can buy something on line for $12.00 or so, the cost to manufacture that item is likely in the $1.00 range, and theres not a lot of money in there for quality construction. Care to share your thoughts on them? And between Kobalt 30 gal and Husky 30 which one is better?Thank you very much. Best air capacity, best warranty, best potential for spare parts, best price all criteria I use when I need to buy a compressor. Dont know what model of Kobalt you have, so cannot check at this time. Ive looked the part number up and it always says the item is obsolete. It has basically been used to inflate tires. There is no airline coming off the compressor-to-tank run. Or, rebuild the manifold using standard brass fittings and use a readily available and low cost general purpose regulator in place of this piece of junk. I have the exact same problem and cant find a replacement knob or regulator. If I was in this situation, Id be buying a new compressor, one comparable one is around $170, quite a bit less than just the pump and motor. Id be looking at the cylinder / piston too just to see whats what inside. Also, if on its side, the tank drain will be in the wrong place. Just a different word for what you mean, I guess, but until I know that, Im not quite sure what part you are talking about. Repeatedly, starting this compressor say, with 40 or 50 psi in the tank. Try adjusting the regulator down to zero and back up to the pressure you want. I still use it though. Hi Kim. I can do a jerry rig fix if I have to but would rather fix it properly. I have kobolt model number 0320541 and the first time using it the bolt in the compression cylinder sheared off were can i get another bolt. Just thought Id get your thoughts .

My Kobalt air compressor pump/motor will not run, can I buy an entire replacement?Model # 99007 (VLK1582609). There could be a number of reasons, most covered on the pages already on this site. I cant find a part # for it. plus a wait time of 20 minutes to talk with s rep. Ive considered that as well as British pipe thread. Just a lesson about getting what you paid for. I am just going to keep using it until it fails Then probably build my own regulator with parts that are easily replaceable. Even their catalogue parts list doesnt show the manifold as a part. Rather than deal with the warranty process and possibly end up with the same issue. http://fix-my-compressor.com/compressed-air-will-not-come-out-of-the-air-hose/. That two plugs with 15 amps supply on the same circuit gives different starting results may suggest an under-power scenario. I changed the oil and still appears to be happening. Ran fine last summer but now has started this. Am I correct in understanding that the regulator fits in the silver piece at the bottom of your image, and the regulator gauge is not attached to the regulator but added to the cover, and plumbed from the regulator, or is the regulator gauge still attached to the regulator, but sticks up out of the hole in the cover you have removed? From the pictures I have found, I suspect the pressure switch is what I call a mini-switch and installs right into the tank. Lowes does not own Kobalt although only Lowes sells Kobalt. What is the motor HP of your Kobalt please? Received it back from someone who used it and took it apart without permission and wont respond.
