Excellent video!! I was looking for something just like this to figure out why my rigid 6 gallon compressor isn't turning on...would you happen to have any ideas?
I just got one of these free cause it won't build pressure. The fan on the side comes on but it doesn't build pressure so I'm gonna take it apart and see if I can fix it cheap. Thanks for the video. Any ideas as to what the problem could be?
I have the same compressor. Where does the cylinder intake air from for the piston to compress? I was wondering if there is an air intake filter somewhere that is replaceable? I was worried about overspray from an automotive paint gun dirtying the air filter, but I don’t see any air intake/filter in your video. I used this compressor to paint 4 car wheels once, which it was barely adequate for. Maybe this compressor has no air filter??
Good video. I have the same one. However, the silvery “flexible line” you mentioned in the video blew up on mine. Could you suggest where I could find the same type of hose or other type that could replace that small section of flexible hose? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
Well, you don't need "the same" - you need better hose, the one that won't blow up ;-) I believe in "gas hoses department" in box stores. OR. Contact Ridgid directly - still, you'll get "the same" one though.
I own one of these. Resently it stopped disconnecting the pump when it gets to 150psi, and it wont start when pressure drops below 120 psi ( I have to control the charge manually), it will trigger the secure valve to let the air escape when it reaches the 175 psi. I thought it was the pressure swith, but I replaced it and still doing the same problem. If you have any trick under the sleeve or have gone through a similar experience, I would appreciate you share your comments.
Truthfully, no, as far as I knew that pressure switch is the only thing that triggers that motor to turn off so if you’ve replaced it, I don’t know what could keep it running
@@oscarm534 yes, unscrew plastic cap phillips, then depressurize ALL TANKS. then i think inch and quarter wrench to reove valve assembly. There is a spring, bearing and seal. Clean them, reinstall with tool oil. The rust affect it.
Any idea where I can get brushes for this? The motor is now longer available. Just want brushes only. Cant find them. Is this compressor motor the same as another model? Husky? Thanks
@@chrhadden I will. My brushes and armature are both messed up also. My armature has a ruff spots is what I think wore out the brushes in it. Disappointed in Ridged in this one.
*After years of hauling around a large,💫 **allabout.wiki/PORTER** heavy, loud dewalt air compressor (that ironically was advertised as quiet, supposedly 78dB), I bought this. Facepalm. While it is not ‘silent’, I find myself chuckling every time I use it, sparing all my neighbors the terror of my former compressor. I use for inflating tires, impact wrench, finish nailers. Absolutely love it. And I store it under the garage sink in a 24” cabinet. I paired with a coil 1/2”, instead of a my former 50’ 5/8” hose that I had to lug across the yard from the shed, unpleasantly uncoil.... this little guy is light and portable; just a joy. Impact wrench is still capable of easing lug bolts, flywheel bolts, crank pulleys... just allow for a tiny bit of recovery now and then.*

With your video I was able to fix my compressor. The rubber flexible hose inside had popped off the copper tube. Thank you for sharing.
The best ridgid R69601FK compressor review on TH-cam so far - thank you, sir.
Thank you for taking it apart and giving a great review.

Did you find out why? I’ve used mine 3 times and now it won’t turn on!?

I have one of these. They are super loud. Any idea how to make it a bit more silent?
Could you show me where the knob is to adjust the cut out pressure for the main tank? It appears it has to be taken apart to access that thank you.
JUST BOUGHT ONE I ALWAYS LIKE TO SEE THE WORKINGS 😊
Thanks! I was wondering about the "oil free piston".
What do I do if my compressor won’t shut down and the pressure is stuck to 125psi?
I have the same compressor. Where does the cylinder intake air from for the piston to compress? I was wondering if there is an air intake filter somewhere that is replaceable?

Is there a reset anywhere on the motor? Mine stopped running today. Had it on a generator. Very low hours on it.
@@PhilGeary Yes sir. Exactly what happened. Thanks
@@shannonstephenson0993so there is a reset switch?
My compressor's pressure won't go from the tank to the outlet. Any idea how to fix it?
can you help do the 4.5 gal 200 psi? I just can't get off the shroud to get to pressure switch
By any chance do you know the part # to the psi switch

I need help determining if wiring inside my Craftsman 150 psi compressor ( pancake) is correct.

@@makermentality1031 Honestly. I have tried 3 different pressure switches. non of them stopped the compressor at 150 psi. it has my head spinning.
great video
Are the quick connects replaceable ? Just use a wrench to spin it off ?. Thank You in advance 👍
Yes they are just standard quick connects
@@makermentality1031 Thank You very much for responding to me Sir . I appreciate it 🙏
My compressor won’t cut out. Stays running. What should I do?
The pressure switch needs to be replaced
Thank you 🙏🏻
How do you remove the regulator knob?
Mine leaks. Causes the compressor to turn on every 3 min or so whether I’m using the air or not. You figure out how to remove/replace it?
@@oscarm534 yes, unscrew plastic cap phillips, then depressurize ALL TANKS. then i think inch and quarter wrench to reove valve assembly. There is a spring, bearing and seal. Clean them, reinstall with tool oil. The rust affect it.
@@organicvids appreciate it!
@@oscarm534 pull safety valves n clean them also
Are there piston rings or are there "O" rings in the cylinder to pump the air????
Piston ring and they do wear out and impossible to find cuz its so common that they wear out
Causing it to not build little to no pressure
Any idea where I can get brushes for this? The motor is now longer available. Just want brushes only. Cant find them. Is this compressor motor the same as another model? Husky? Thanks
ioof you find out i need to know tpo.need a set of brushes and armature and fan
@@chrhadden I will. My brushes and armature are both messed up also. My armature has a ruff spots is what I think wore out the brushes in it. Disappointed in Ridged in this one.
@@chrhadden
5140209-03 Is a part number that I think will work for the brushes. . The armature You might have to sand smooth.
Thanks! Could do without the humming. though.
Disculpa el cable de color verde para que es o que función tiene?saludos muy buen video desde queretaro
How can i replace the switch
Do you have info on where to buy a new belt?
i would contact ridgid they do sell parts and definitely do that if it is less than 3yrs old it would still be under warranty
Does it have to be plugged in to work or does it charge?
this is plug in only
So I guess this compressor is built a little more RIDGID!!!
