Help finding a Campbell Hausfeld compressor part...

[Nick_Escalante]

Hi, I have a 22 gallon CH WL660001AJ compressor that I got from a friend and it was missing the plastic key that allows the user to switch it from 'OFF' to 'AUTO'.

Currently is is set to auto, and starts when I plug it in. I would like to get the red plastic key ( pic 1 located in the middle right ) but have not found it online any where . A guy I work with said it is not good for the motor to keep plugging it in the unit by the wall with it on. Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

I cant help with locating the part your looking for, i do however know a heir of CH as his family owns or owned part of CH but i think, but am not sure that most of CH is now owned by Warren Buffet. Anyways the CH heir is a cool, humble kid, and VERY conservative dispite his famlies wealth.

Many equipment parts sellers refuse to deal with C-H anymore because they got stiffed on warranty repairs. Neither of the small equipment repair shops in my small town will order C-H parts for this reason. Therefore I buy my C-H parts from Sears Parts Central. But first you need to find a Sears compressor that used the same pump.

The two places I usually order from are ereplacementparts.com and toolpartsdirect.com. I checked both places and can't see the switch in the illustrated parts lists.

If it were me I would wire up a switch in line on the wall, a disconnect type thing.

I just got off the phone with CF, and they do not off the 'key' separate from the pressure switch. In order to get the key, I will have to purchase the pressure switch.

0021) Pressure Switch If your valve is leaking on the side of the switch, do not order this part . Order check valve instead. CW207589AV $71.33

I'm not ready to spend $72 for a plastic key.

Nick, just make a key and put it in place? There are youtube videos on how a PS works.

I tweaked my on and off PSI's a bit to maximize my 'new' compressor. Basically that lever acts as a spacer so 2 filament's can't touch each other when spring activated.... watch a couple u tube videos. You should be able to figure it out.

If a lever is too hard to do, even a small wedge would likely work. Push the wedge in to turn off, pull the wedge out to set to 'auto'

PS. The guys in the tool subsection might help you better.
