Compressor made air, but wouldn't restart unless tank empty. It would hum and trip the circuit breaker.

Compressor would pressurize then release pressure when selected pressure was reached. Pressure was released because no return valve (check valve) was not seating properly.

Removed the two fittings on the valve. Removed the valve. Replaced the old valve with the new one. Reconnected the two fittings using Loctite to seal the fittings. The only problem I had was the first valve they sent was mislabeled and was the wrong one. A call to customer service and it was corrected immediatley. A new one shipped and I printed the return authorization label and shipped back the wrong part.Instant credit and recharge with no shipping cost for the replacement. Great parts and great service!
