Air Compressors Work With Grimmer Schmidt Parts

By Harriett Crosby


If you already own an air compressor you will know how useful they can be. Small ones are used for pumping up bicycle tires and balls, and for various other blowing tasks around the house. They are even successful for getting mud out of your boots. Larger ones are often used at car garages and gas stations, and are capable of things beyond just that of inflation, such as running power tools. When any type of compressor stops working, they may need replacement components, such as Grimmer Schmidt parts.

You will most likely find a local shop that sells new components for air compressors, but you can search the internet as well. Websites that specialize in air compressor gadgets will have a wide range of articles for sale, and will deliver your order. Online shopping is so quick because you don't even have to leave your home or office.

If you own a small air compressor that has stopped working, you may find it easier to buy another one, as they are quite cheap. Repairing an old one may cost almost as much as a new one anyway. When you have a big, expensive one, however, it is worth trying to fix it if it is not working properly. A new part or a few adjustments may be all it needs.

Sometimes compressors break down and need some professional assistance, but if you are handy with a wrench and screw driver it is often the case that you can fix it yourself. First you will need to check that all the electrical connections are in order. Make sure it is plugged in and that the power plug is working and turned on. If it is cutting out after a few minutes it may not be receiving enough power, or it could be overheating.

Your machine has certain safety mechanisms, such as the motor overload protector, ensuring that the motor will not be running when it has overheated. The reset button on the machine will be used to start it up again when it has stopped because of overheating. Make sure the compressor has cooled slightly before attempting to put it on again.

When your air compressor is not blowing as it should be, then you will need to search for leaks. This can be done quite easily by spraying the possible areas of the machine with a mixture of soap and water. When the machine is turned on, there will be bubbles where air is leaking.

Once you have released the pressure from the tank, by pulling the release valve, you can tend to the faulty fittings. Take them off by turning them counterclockwise with a wrench. The fittings may need to be tightened, their threads covered with Teflon, or they will need to be re-threaded. Quic-connect fittings might have also come loose and may need to be tightened or reconnected.

When you need to replace certain components of your machine you should look for high quality items that will last for a long time. Anything that is cracked or broken will need to be renewed. Grimmer Schmidt parts are known to be of a good quality, and can be ordered from a website online.
