Good evening to everyone. On the day of the leak it was 0 degrees
Fahrenheit in Northern Illinois. The air compressor is a Sears craftsman
circa 1986?? I bought this thing on Craig's List about ten years ago and
it has worked flawlessly. I got zero documentation when purchased so I
am in the Dark as to model number and would appreciate any help in
identifying this model. There are two raised plates with numbers. The
first is a small 1 inch cylindrical shaped plate with 21 E 86. The
second is on the raised plate painted in the same red as the compressor
with either of these two numbers on it as I can't make them out clearly.
It is either 1102862223 or No 862223 with MFCS after them. Below
this there are the letters SH .094 and HD .094 then CRN
F0575.5123467890YT. From what I can see on the motor plate it is a 3 hp
electric motor and the unit is 220 volt plug-in.
The compressor leaks after it has reached pressure and shut off, its
very audible coming out somewhere around the pressure switch unloader
valve. A search puts it it at about 51-49 percent Tank check valve to
pressure switch as the problem. I removed the fitting where the tank
check valve should be but it looks like a clean fitting where there was
not a valve originally unless it has entirely disintegrated. Please see
picture. My problem is I cannot identify the replacement check valve
since I cannot identify the compressor. None of the numbers I have
listed comes back as a valid craftsman compressor model number. Please
look at the fitting I removed and tell me if you think there was a check
valve in there that just totally disintegrated? If you can help me out
with a model number that would be great also.
