Milwaukee Compressor Problem.

[timm1]

I have 2 Milwaukee 18 volt compressors and they were working and now they do not click when I turn it on. It seems like a lot of other people have the same problem. It acts like the electronic assembly goes bad. I bought the circuit board for 100.00 from a reputer place and it worked a few times and now it is dead. I talked to the owner of a tool repair and motor shop and he said some one just braught 3 in this morning. I like the compressor when it works because it is quiet. Has any one else had that problem?

Yes just got back one I sent in for warranty via E service. Don't have the prognosis though.

I am sending one of mine in and I hope to find out what the problem is with them.

Amazingly they repaired my compressor rather than sending me a new one. Ok with me after I added some extra rubber feet to the bottom.

Looks like the electronics/ switch was the culprit. Thought the pump/motor was perfectly fine.

It would have been cheaper for Milwaukee to send you to Home Depot, and you could have gotten a free battery:https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwauk...1Q15BVHxQZ7LHalVV2hoC-kYQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Pretty sure you are right. With all of the shipping back and forth across the country I am not sure how the warranty penciled even factoring in the repair rates are inflated.

Looks like I somehow scored the compressor for $245 from Home Depot back in April 2022.
