Badger 180-12 won't auto shut-off

Badger 180-12 cut out specifications
Hi Bill,
My Badger 180-12 no longer has an auto-shutoff. When I turn it on, the compressor runs continuously until I turn it off. It will still push air through my airbrushed but I have some safety concerns with letting it run continuously.
I have had this compressor for a number of years but I can't say that I have worked it too hard. It goes for long periods of time unused.
Possibly unrelated, I disassembled the regulator/water trap last night and say that there was some corrosion in the fitting that goes between the compressor and regulator.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dave
