Model 5F212 throws breaker every 5-10 min.

I have model 5F212 plugged in at wall 110V. It throws breaker every 5-10 min.

I am mechanically impared any help with this is very appreciated.

I assume because my compressor says wired for 115V I may need some kind of adapter to convert to 115V from the 110V wall plug ?????

No, I don't think that you need an adapter.

What you haven't said is what's happening when the breaker trips. Is the compressor just running, or is it popping the breaker when it goes to start.

I can't even start to offer a diagnosis if I don't have details.

Tell you what. Go to this page, and read the questions and answers noted at the bottom. I think you'll find your reason there.

Cheers,
