Compressor pressure switch diagram

[jayulzvern]

Hello, I am a new member looking forward to years of good fun on what looks like a great place to be.

I found this forum because I am having trouble putting back together my Ingersoll Rand Garage Mate pressure switch. It is either a 23474570 or 23474588.

Long story short, it came apart further then I would have liked and I can't get it back together. I was hoping someone here either had a similar part and was willing to share an image of the internals as a guide for me or had knowledge of an exploded parts diagram I could use.

Either way any help is greatly appreciated and I am looking forward to my interactions with the other members on this site.

Hi, welcome to GJ

How far did you take it apart? Can you post a pic of the pieces you have? I can't imagine they disassemble that much. Did you take out the long high and low set point springs?

I'll get pictures of the gubbins when I can, because of the design: a large spring pushes the contacts apart until the pressure needle drops so contact can be made and the compressor will kick in once a screw was removed the whole thing flew apart.

I'd buy a new one. I don't think you are going to get it going again without some special tools.

o, ye of little faith. Its not complicated its just the order of installation I need help with.

It can probably be done, would have to see what you're seeing, but those switches are pretty cheap. Why did you take it apart?

Welcome!

I took it apart to try and get it to work the way I wanted. But a replacement was $40, so I sucked it up and bought it. But I kept the old one and will put it back together so I have a spare. It is very simple.

Thank you everyone for your help.

Which replacement pressure switch did you use and where did you get it from?
