Air coming out of filter. and will not build pressure.
Ed For model number craftsman 921.166400 - March 8, 2023

Hi Ed, Thank you for your question. If your air compressor will not build pressure, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. We recommend checking the gaskets, the valve reed, the filter and the intake filter. Once you have determined the part you need, please call customer service. We look forward to hearing from you!

What type of oil do I need? It's below red dot would that cause low pressure?
Stan For model number 921-153100 - October 11, 2022

Hello Stan, Thank you for your inquiry. We have researched the model number that you have provided and the manufacturer recommends a non detergent oil such as SAE-30 (API CG/CD Heavy Duty) or SAE-10 for winter conditions. It can be a cause of low pressure, but you may also want to check the gaskets, the reed valve, the filter, and the piston. Good luck with your repair and if you need assistance with placing an order, please do not hesitate to call our customer service, open 7 days a week to help you. We look forward to hearing from you.
