Common Air Compressor Repairs

Air compressor issues could result from one of the following problems as listed below. In some cases, the compressor might stop running as prompted or even fail to start. No matter the problem, the symptoms can be time-consuming, costly, and can cause a lot of frustration.

Reduced Air Output

Over time, wear on rotors and casing increases internal clearances. As these gaps widen, the compressor can’t achieve its designed compression ratio, so you’ll see lower discharge pressure and reduced flow. This directly impacts production throughput and may indicate it’s time for rotor refurbishment or a full airend overhaul.

Excessive Oil Carryover

If you spot oil in your downstream air lines or receive complaints of oil contamination in pneumatic equipment, it’s often due to a degraded oil–air separator or incorrect oil grade. As separator elements clog or harden, they fail to capture fine oil mist, allowing droplets to pass through—risking product quality in food, pharma or painting applications.

High Operating Temperatures

Screw compressors rely on efficient cooling circuits to stay within safe temperature limits. Scale or debris can block intercoolers and aftercoolers, while low coolant flow (from pump wear or leaks) further impairs heat transfer. Running at elevated temperatures accelerates lubricant breakdown and can trigger thermal protection trips that halt your operation.

Abnormal Vibration & Noise

A smooth-running compressor should produce a steady hum. If you hear knocking, whining or notice excessive vibration, shaft misalignment, worn journal bearings or rotor damage may be at fault. Left unchecked, these issues not only damage the airend but also transmit stress to the baseplate and piping, risking system failure.

Control System Errors

Modern compressors use sophisticated controllers to manage start/stop sequences, load sharing and safety interlocks. Error codes or unexpected shutdowns often trace back to failed pressure or temperature sensors, loose wiring connections, or outdated firmware. Regular controller audits and software updates help prevent mysterious downtimes and ensure accurate diagnostics.

Excessive Power Consumption

If your compressor’s energy use spikes without a corresponding increase in output, it may be due to dirty intake filters, improper pressure settings or worn internal components. Clogged filters force the motor to work harder to draw in air, while operating at higher-than-needed discharge pressures wastes energy. Additionally, wear on rotors or bearings increases frictional losses. Addressing these issues through filter replacements, pressure optimization and timely airend maintenance will restore efficiency and lower operating costs.
