I just bought a 5hp Ingersol Rand air compressor from Northern Tool. I even bought the start up kit to extend the warranty. This compressor immediately starts leaking oil through one of the side plugs in the block. I contact Northern Tool who puts me in contact with the local service rep. for...

I followed the directions and I swear I think I did it right, but it seems like when I follow the diagram is the only configuration that does not work at all. It seems like if I wire it in just about other combination, it works at least in one direction. Any thoughts?

Anyone....???

I just got a brand new 5hp Ingersoll Rand 60 gallon air compressor. I bought the Ingersoll start up kit and did everything as instructed for start up. It's been about a month and I noticed there appears to be an oil leak that is coming from one of the side drain plugs. This is a bolt I never...

Ok, I did Black on Dimmer to Black in wall Blue on Dimmer to Red in wall Red on Dimmer to Grey in wall This doesn't work at all, no matter how I switch the switch across the room. With power on, when I test the circuit, the black to black connection is hot and the blue to red connection is...

It is an intermatic HA20C Thanks Hammlm!

I tried a different dimmer, same results. So I don't think it is defective. What am I missing?

I think I have tried every wire combination, I can only get it to work one-way.

Dimmer switch has a Red, Blue, Black wires. (also has a green wire that is labeled ground wire for bare copper wire)

Ok, I took the dimmer out again, with all three wires separated (black, red, grey) I turned the power back on. Tested the wires, black: hot, red: not hot, grey: not hot. Fliped the switch across the room, Black: not hot, Red: hot, Grey: not hot. None of the wires in this switch are constant...

Thanks guys! I am headed out of town until Sunday. I am hope I can open up the switch again Sunday and give your advises a try again there. I think I understand what you guys are saying and now makes sense to me, hope it works! Will let you know Sunday when I open it up again.

So one switch should have the "odd colored screw (I assume this is the "common") or black screw" hooked to hot and the other switch the common nut should be hooked to the only one not hot? Were getting close here! (I think anyway...) Thanks!

In the original set-up, I could turn it on or off from either switch.

One is a switch and the other is a dimmer.

Thank you for the help Hammlm, does this dimmer switch need to be on the first switch position? Also, I did check which wires were hot with the power on. I noticed the hot wires seemed to switch depending on which way I turned the switch across the room. I did initially hook the common wire...

I was starting to wonder if there was a difference in which order the power was feeding the switches. How do I figure this out? I don't know which one is being fed first?

I have a wiring diagram that came with the switch and I followed it exactly. Making sure to connect the common wire (which was hooked to the black screw on the old switch) to the common wire on the new switch. Nothing worked at all this way. When looking at the wires as they come into the...

I am replacing an existing 3-way toggle switch with a 3-way dimmer switch. Problem I am having is that with the new switch, it only works if the switch across the room is switched one way, but not the other. The old toggle switch could be turned on or off from either side of the room. Any...

It is weird, I dripped a little by accident again tonight and it wiped right up. I don't get it...

It is a bit of both. I work in it, but it has a very nice show look to it.
