​Quick Checks

​

1. Power & Breaker

• Confirm the unit has power

• Check the breaker or disconnect switch

• Make sure the unit is turned on

 

2. Pressure Issues

• Is the compressor building pressure?

• Check the pressure gauge for normal operating range

• Listen for the unit cycling on and off

 

3. Air Leaks

• Listen for hissing or escaping air

• Check visible lines and connections

• Leaks can prevent proper pressure buildup

 

4. Moisture or Drain Issues

• Check the drain (if applicable)

• Excess moisture can affect performance

• Make sure the system is being drained regularly

 

5. Unusual Noise or Behavior

• Loud or unusual sounds

• Constant running without building pressure

• Frequent cycling

These can indicate mechanical issues that need service.

 

When to Call for Service

If your compressor:

• won’t build pressure

• runs continuously

• affects multiple operatories

• shows signs of failure

…it’s time to have it checked.
