I have a RIDGID dual tank compressor model OF45150A that I recently replaced the piston and cylinder assembly on because it would not build pressure. After replacing these parts the compressor takes 20 minutes to build pressure to the point where it will automatically shut off. That is the first problem. The second problem is that after I start using the compressor it will not maintain pressure. I have to keep stoping what I am doing and give it time to build pressure again. Could there be another issue that I need to look at and if so where should I begin? The regulator does leak a little but it has always done that so I do not think that the regulator is the issue.

If they do not sell the fan kit anymore what do you use as a replacement? My fan is shot and I need to replace it?

Does the Piston & Cylinder Kit come with gaskets?

what is the value of the running capacitor on the motor assemble

Compressor will not shut off. Is it the pressure swith or the regulator that need to be replaced?

I installed the rebuilding kit for this compressor a Ridgid (OF45150a) twinstack. Unfortunately the bearing I matched up from a bearing manufacture did not last, since then I was able to obtain the original bearing used by Ridgid for this compressor. The problem is the torque specs. I had for the connecting rod and head bolts were on my computer. My hard drive crashed without warning taking years of information with it.
If anyone can tell me the torque specs it would be greatly appreciated.

How do I replace the connecting rod bearing on the crankshaft without purchasing a new motor assembly? I do not have original piece for reference.

Ridgid air compressor only gets to 50 psi and the motor just keeps running. Any ideas?

My compressor will not pump up past 100 psi and it sounds rough.

Could I get a wiring diagram for the starter capacitor?

My compressor is only a couple of years old. I don't use it much, but recently, I pressured up the tanks and was getting ready to use my air tools... yet nothing happened. The tanks pressured up and no air from either output from the regulator...Now, what would be the proper diagnoses procedure to determine if it is the pressure switch or a bad link removed compressor is a OF45150.
Any suggestions? or should I just start changing parts?

How do you remove counterweight from the spindle?

If I replace the piston assembly w/screw do I need to replace the valve plate kit because the ring and cylinder are shot.
What should the head bolts be torqued at?

When the air pressure reaches 150psi the safety valve on my Rigid OF45150 opens and the compressor continues to run. Does the Safety Valve need replacing or the Pressure Switch or what exactly is my problem?

My regulator is working fine, but there is a screw and O-ring on the bottom side that holds in the spring - it is made of cheap pot metal and broke when I tried to tighten it. Can I purchase this part without having to purchase the entire regulator assembly?

My air compressor won't shut off when it's full. It just keeps running and is really loud. What parts do I need to replace?

Should you see daylight between the cylinder and piston when the piston in down? Is it a taper cylinder like a two stroke nitromethane motor?

After sitting for a few days my compressor will not start. Compressor appears frozen. A helping hand will usually get it started.

My Ridgid of45150b air compressor will sometimes not restart on air draw down and will kick the circuit breaker. Is the pressure release valve causing this problem?

Hello, my compressor never finish filling the tank , the PRECION reaches 25 psi.
Can someone tell me what the problem?
What can I do?
Change the valve plate kit? solve the problem?
Thanks

I recently replaced the piston an cylinder sleeve on the oilless rigid compressor only to find that the pressure regulator was leaking. I purchased a new one an its doing the same thing. It only leaks in when turned to certain positions. I'm stumped please help.

How do you order the rod bearing? I thought it came with the rod piston package. I don't see it listed anywhere. The motor is fine, I don't want to replace it. The whole compressor costs less, new, than the motor does by itself. Thanks

What a joke! The piece that holds the 0-ring in the regulator split in half. Probably a 2 dollar part, but now I have to spend over 43.00 and replace the entire regulator. Plus I have to wait 1-2 weeks for it to ship. First and last time I will buy a Ridgid compressor.
