Solution

1.Check for proper use of extension cord

2.Plugged in? Check fuse/breaker or motor overload

3.Replace blown fuse

4.Reset, determining why problem happened

5.Motor will restart when cool; turn off compressor and wait 20 minutes

6.Replace

1.Check with voltmeter

2.Check gauge chart, under Operation for proper gauge wire and cord length

3.Replace motor

4.Replace or repair

1.Check for proper fuse, use time- delay fuse. Disconnect other

electrical appliances from circuit or operate compressor on its own branch circuit
