- This video shows you how to reconnect the internal wiring in a Porter Cable 6 Gallon Air Compressor. It's a common problem that I've had to fix on mine a few times so hopefully this will help you get yours fixed and up and running. Remember, before you open up the shroud make sure you unplug your unit! I forgot to say that in the video.
If you get sick of trying to fix yours and decide that you want a new one (or if you just want one because of how awesome they are) here is a link to Amazon:

This video saved me over $100 , I easily fixed my compressor in 10 minutes!!!!!
Awesome! I'm glad it helped!
Ur video saved me. I had loose connections and noticed a pinched ground wire, it’s running like champ. Thank u Brotha🙏
LIFE SAVER! I was using my compressor as I normally would, and just letting the tank get some air in it, not even using it and it suddenly stopped. I thought to myself "I've only had this thing for 8 or so months, what could have POSSIBLY broken?". I'm so glad your video was the first one that came up when I tried troubleshooting. Saved me a lot of headache!
I'm glad this worked for you! Thanks for the comment!
Couldn't find my receipt to get warranty work done. Thankfully I found your video and now my compressor is working again. You are a hero, thanks for making this video.
Haha, thanks man! I’m glad this helped get you back up and running again!
Great job man! I watched your video and fixed it in 5 minutes. I did the exact the same thing , dropped it and it quit working. I took it apart and the wire was loose. I fixed the wire... and bam it kicked on! Thanks! Saved me from having to buy another one
Awesome! I’m glad it was such an easy fix for you!! Keep up the good work 👊
Thank you for posting this quick fix! I fixed my compressor last night.
Glad it helped! Have fun out there!
Almost left without leaving a like. Helped tremendously! Thanks!
Thank you! Glad it helped!
Thank you for your video, this is exactly the issue I had (same compressor, too!). My entire power cord had pulled out, and while I was able to take the cover off easily, I didn't know where the black & white wires were plugged in originally. Much appreciated, sir!
Thanks for the advise... while my compressor is different than the one shown, this worked for me! I just tightened the spade terminals and pressed the back on and I'm back in business!
Awesome! I'm glad this was able to help and you got things back up and running!
Thanks. The video was really helpful and saves me a lot of time.
Thank you... It fixed mine. :) saved day 2 of shiplapping my kitchen ceiling. Couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t working and when I opened it it looked like nothing was wrong so I just pushed all the connectors and it worked.
Great! Glad I could help!
This fixed it! I guess one of the connectors was loose. Now, tell me where this thing has a leak 🤦🏼♂️
Thanks for the video. Watching your video I fixed my compressor!
I’m glad this helped!
Thanks my dude. My dad bought on of these back in 19' and never used it until today. It didn't work... Well thanks to you, I saved the day😉😉 👊🏽🙏🏽👊🏽
Nice! Way to save the day man! Glad this helped out!
I followed your process and discovered one loose wire connection. Great video.....Thanks!!!
Awesome! I’m glad you got yours working!
Since there is so much vibration in a compressor it is not uncommon for these type of disconnect connectors to weaken over time. You can gently compress the connectors' "Female" side with pliers so that when the two parts slide together they bite more firmly and make a more positive connection. If you look at the female connector from the end, the non-insulated portion will look like a flat/wide "U" but with the tops of the letter curving back in on itself (much like the shape found at the top of an Ionic column). Just gently and slightly compress those curving bits from the top so that you narrow the space that the 1/4" male blade fits into. You can also easily re-terminate the wire with a new crimp-on Female disconnect for very little cost. Just don't cut the wire too short to reach its target connection.
That’s a really good idea. Thank you! I might have to do that!
Thanks, couldn't figure out where that white cable went
I’m glad this could help!
Thank you!! Very helpful, just fixed mine after a little drop!
Thanks! I’m glad you’re up and running again!
Quicker.
Thank you for sharing. My P.C. compressor wouldn't run and now it does. The black and white wires were off, so I put them back on and crimped them with needlenose pliers. Cleaned it up a bit and it's good to go.
Awesome! I’m glad you’re back up and running!
Thanks for the video!! You’re saving me a lot of time 😊
Happy to help!
Thank you much, I'll be trying this.
Hopefully it helps!
Good job man, keep those coming!
Thank you!
This video was a great help. Thank you
I’m glad it helped! Have a great weekend!
Worked for me! Thanks a bunch, you're the man!
Thanks! I’m glad this helped!
Wow thanks for this video and your time. I just tried it and my compressor started
Great to hear! I'm glad this got you back up and running! Thank you!
You're a good man. Thanks!
My craftsman is the same compressor with the same problem. Fixed
I’m glad it worked out!
Thank you so much for this video
You’re welcome!
Nice tips !
Thank you!
The lead wires from the cord on mine got loose and chopped up by the fan. I had to shorten the cord and put new connectors on the them. 1 ring, 1 straight flat and 1 90deg flat. Worked, but a bit of a pain to do.
Right on!
Thanks!
Thank you!! I’m glad this was helpful!
thanks 🙂
You’re welcome!
thanks this is exactly what happened to me
I’m glad you got it figured out!
Followed your instructions....Compressor now starts up. Only difference with my compressor is all the screws are T20, and a ext'n is needed to remove 2 screws....Otherwise it works perfect
Awesome! I’m glad you’ve got it up and running! Good to know the difference too 👍
If anyone is having a power issue, it’s most likely the ‘pressure switch’ being stuck !! ⬇️
Have fixed myself without tools, re-introduced high pressure (150-160psi) max another source into the regulator. You will need a backwards connection fitting, but will fix issue 99% of time
Thanks for showing another potential solution.
Awesome video, I thought I was going to have to buy yet another compressor. Any idea where these little black squares came from? 😆
Awesome! I’m glad you didn’t have to buy a new one! Not sure on the black squares. Sorry!
@@berlinbuilds yeah they were laying on my work table once I reassembled the thing
@@mountain_dweller oh snap. Well, as long as it all still works I guess! Sorry I’m not more helpful there!
Never mind - hose wasn’t really seated well
You would think they would solder those wires with all the vibration
I know, right?
They can do that, but in case you ever need to replace the all wire cable, it would be very difficult to take it out and install the new one…
Need to see the actual connection of the wires please.Thanks
Sorry that was the best I could get on the camera. It’s not the biggest place to try and get a good camera angle of 🤷
Sir I like to fix my compressor too .mines Dont shut off after 3 minute tuning don't shut off should I liaved 4. Second or six 6 ? Thanks can someone help?
Sorry, I’m not totally sure what you are describing.
@@berlinbuilds what happen is that empty it takes forever to shut down .it don't shut down.
@@gersidoortiz25 How long is it running for? It can take a while to fill up and shut off.
@@berlinbuilds how long you think I should let it run on a safe side .and I try what you said .it's a pankey 1.1 150 psi 6 gallon.crasman.
@@gersidoortiz25 it can run for a good bit depending on what is going on. Let it run for 15 minutes and see if it shuts off or not. One thing to check too is if you have any leaks in the compressor or your hoses to see if that is part of the problem.
I tried this and found the connector pin for the on side is very loose
Hopefully that was the problem! Be safe out there!
It’s a T-15 not 20
Odd. Mine is the T-20. Maybe they changed? Mine is about 5 years old.
This video sucked! Dude we couldn’t see what wire landed where. Some of us the whole wire came out. Waste of time
Sounds like you probably didn’t watch the whole video where I zoom in and show where each wire goes. Maybe you just skimmed around? Best of luck with your fix!
