Help - I need a new Air compressor circuit breaker ~ Kuoyuh 98 Series 15amps 125/250vac 32Vdc 50/60Hz

Hi there, today I tried turning on my air compressor and it just started struggling turning on. It turned on once then I turned it off. The second time I tried to turn it on it was struggling to turn on and all of the sudden the circuit breaker started smoking. I unplugged it and now it just won't turn on not even struggling. I'm guessing the circuit breaker blew.

I just can't find out where to buy this type of circuit breaker? I tried my local hardware store but No luck. There are some online but they are from China and will take a few weeks to get here.... Anyone know what type of stores sell these breakers?

The original one that was on my compressor is Kuoyuh 98 Series 15amps 125/250vac 32Vdc 50/60Hz It is the push in switch type.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Hello Dom. It sounds to me like a capacitor, motor, or unloader issue.

I don't know where to get the part you need so I have posted your request on the "parts needed" page, to appeal to visitors.

Good luck.
