when running the compressor, after about two minutes, it will cycle on and off. why? overheating protection? note, the battery was fully charged.

I never had this issue. Works great for me. Maybe a bad unit?? Sorry I couldn't help.

Yes, this is normal for the unit. It is just running as the compressor runs.

Mine has shut off when it has overheated. It would not start again until it had cooled to a completely-off temperature, which at least once took an hour or more.

Hi Randy,In the Money Saver Mode everything cycles off with the thermostat. Otherwise the compressor cuts off and the fan continues to run. As RLee said, in the Money Saver Mode the unit will turn on for a few seconds periodically to check the room temp to see if the unit needs to cycle on.

Hello...if you don't have anything turn on its probably a bad board...if the electronics are working then set if for the lowest setting and see if it kicks on...compressors usually go at some point but when I first set mine up I had it set too high and it didn't get much water at first...when I set it under 50% if worked better

yeah. that is how it works. the fan stays on while the compressor un-freezes. Sorry to hear you bought one of those. They are pretty lousy and low quality. Mine died after very little use just after the warranty ran out.

Probably due to the cycle time. If you shut it off and let it cool down a little while inflating it should be fine.

It should continue the cycle after a few mins. I'd contact the manufacturer to clarify.

Is the compressor running or just the fan/coil unit after the temperature is reached? Does it cut off after a couple of minutes? If it just keeps running, it sounds like it might have been wired incorrectly, assuming the "Fan" switch isn't in the "On" position (if it is, switch it to the "Auto" position). If it just continues to run for a couple of minutes, I think the thermostat is likely programmed to do that as a (mildly misguided) effort at efficiency by taking advantage of the low refrigerant temperature that lingers a bit after the compressor has shut off. I actually don't have this model (and am not sure why Amazon thinks I do), and I am going from the behavior of the model TX5000Ua that I do have.

It will run it for a short time. Then you will have to wait a min. While the compressor catch's up. But the tool is excellent

I let it run through the 15 min. cycle with heat. It will start right back up if I want it to. Honestly, 15 min. is enough....this thing isn't for pansies. ;)

It only works off the car battery. I have a converter for car to house charger and the compressor works at about half power or so. I don't know if this helps or not.

I drain mine after every use, so it hasn't been left charged overnight. I have it hooked up to a power draw bar on a mill, so there are a lot of press fit connectors and small air hoses in line that I would suspect of a leak before the unit itself if I were to test it overnight. I did test all of the seals on the compressor when I first purchased (soap and water test) with no noticeable leaks.

I am thinking my husband used his compressor. We have only used it once so far.

my compressor works fine. no problem so far. i've owned it over 2 years. i like it.

usually only when using the air compressor if your 'CONNECTION' is loose at the fillup valve it will turn the unit off and then back on...unless you INSURE a TIGHT CONNECTION.

I'd take it outside and use a can of air or a compressor. Check to see what mfr recommends first. Unplug it first, naturally
