CH compressor pressure switch died?
My slightly out-of-warranty (by 1 month) CH twin tank compressor won't
switch on any more. I've hardly used the thing. It has a LEFOO LF10-4H pressure switch which I suspect is the problem. I need to borrow a meter to check voltages at the contacts as a first step. That said, is there some part that could have jammed that I could free somehow? There is a brass spring plunger on the side of the thing with a Torx adjustment screw (it touches the same plate that moves the contacts) whose function I don't really understand. I imagine there is also an assembly under the module that "pops up" to break the contacts when cut-out pressure is reached. This can be adjusted by two screws - one for both cut-in/cut-out pressure and one for cut-in only. I haven't changed these settings. The damn switch costs more than half what I paid for the compressor! Any info on what adjustments/checks I can do myself would be appreciated, especially a description of how the thing operates...including the plunger on the side. I will also contact CH to see if they can do a warranty repair. I'm not very impressed. |
