Husky 26 gallon air compressor will build enough pressure

by Bob
(Illinois)

Husky 26 gallon air compressor continues to run because it only goes to 95psi and the pressure switch needs 155psi.. replaced gaskets and assy plates per discussion with NUAIR.. Unit is less than 1.5 years old but blew a pressure hose and ran for hours because it would not shut off... repaired hose but reeds in assy plates were gone..

Bob, it sounds like you may have pooched the reed valves when it ran for so long.

Here's the list of the things that could cause a compressor to run and stop building pressure:
