Pressure Switch Not Cutting Out

Fault-finding guide for pressure switch not cutting out where the compressor pressure switch may be part of the cause.

Technical support

Send the old switch code, compressor brand, motor size, voltage, phase, cut-in/cut-out pressure and port layout. We will help match the correct replacement.

  • Single phase and three phase
  • 1-way and 4-way layouts
  • Unloader valve options
  • South Africa and Africa supply

Possible causes

  • Incorrect pressure switch setting or failed diaphragm.
  • Burnt, loose or contaminated electrical contacts.
  • Blocked pressure port or faulty unloader valve.
  • Incorrect amp rating for the compressor motor.
  • Receiver pressure, non-return valve or safety valve fault.

Checks before replacing the switch

  1. Isolate power and depressurise the receiver safely.
  2. Confirm the compressor pressure gauge is accurate.
  3. Inspect wiring, terminals and contact condition.
  4. Compare switch rating to the motor and compressor nameplate.
  5. Check the unloader line and non-return valve.
Electrical work should be completed by a competent person. Do not bypass safety controls.

Replacement guidance

For a correct replacement, send Titan Emporium the old switch code, photos, motor size, voltage, phase, cut-in/cut-out pressure and port layout.

Direct answer

Pressure Switch Not Cutting Out relates to selecting the correct air compressor pressure switch by pressure range, voltage, phase, port layout, unloader requirements and compressor application. NEMA pressure switches are distributed by The Titan Emporium.
