Hey just wanted to thank you and your son, great to see a father and son team doing stuff.. i bought this exact compressor at a yard sale took a chance for 20 bucks, brought it home and found this exact issue wrong with it, your video popped up first. I bought exactly what you guys said and thanks to you and your son fixed it, runs like a top. By the way the phone ringing was kinda my favotite part hahaha. Thanks again guys, much appreciated!!!!
Well, this is an old video and since then we’ve done complete rebuilds on his Honda motorcycles. He’s 18 now and goes To the university of New Orleans and we’ve really gotten deep into rebuilding dirt bikes. But very glad we could help
The reason why this an OUTSTANDING ‘How-To’ repair video for this unit is because we get to be a fly on the rear gate listening to a conversation between a professional and an apprentice. Fantastic job, fellas. Thank you for the assist👍🏽👨🏫🛠👨🔧👍🏽
@@mrbob28115 thank you for saying so. All I did was set an example. Never had to force him to do anything. I just was blessed that he wanted to imitate me. We just got through rebuilding his Honda dirtbike. We wanted to have a video of that, but the video came in so many different paces.on a GoPro one on the phone. He was trying to piece them together, but he’s at UNO ™ now on a full scholarship. Majoring in engineering.
I’m actually doing this right now. A contractor left one of these onsite after taking money and not doing the job. I decided that 7 years later(now) was a good time to fix it. Thanks for the video.
When most young men today can’t even change a wheel and a tire, teaching your son was the best part of the video. I ordered my parts. Hopefully a Dewalt Sales Executive can send your son some tools to help start his collection.
Good job dad promoting your son to figure it out and fix something. I do the same. I have to do this identical job and will follow your video. Well done.
It's a bit more complicated to raise a man these days. Next, we plan to replace my door lock actuators for a small fraction of what the dealership wants. Thanks for the thumbs up
Good video, especially since it was the only one I found with the exact same model I have. Never would have figured this one out by myself. One word of caution, though. At 4:35 and 5:45 I feel that you are using the wrong tool for the job. The absolute best way to cut an electrical tie-wrap is with a pair of cutting pliers (aka "dykes"). They eliminate the uncontrolled jerking action associated with a knife-like tool. A lot of electricians have almost cut their thumbs clean off trying to cut tie-wraps. What you used may be the next best thing, but it still required a lot of force under less than full control. Thanks again for the video.
Thanks for Posting. Had the same problem and your directions saved me a lot of time. It is a very nice feeling when the gauge gets to 150 psi and stops right on the line. Thanks for putting it out there!
Thanks for putting the video out here for us to use. I got stuck putting it back inside the housing and looked at yours to see how it went back in. After that, I had no problem. I should have taken a picture but of course, I didn't.
Anything to keep this equipment out of the scrap pile. Thanks to eBay and RUclips, I fix all my tools like this. My wife’s been dying for a new refrigerator but I just keep fixing the old one. I paid $1500 for it and I think eight years is not enough time to get out of it. Wives really hate when we fix washing machines stoves and refrigerators
Excellent video - great project to teach a son. For anyone else working on this is have this exact model - first start by finding an exploded diagram online and then 1. found that removing the top metal (Item 17) allows you to quickly cut the hose labeled 316 that is in the center of the motor housing by the tank center under that cover. Cut as close as u can to the plastic so to reuse this hose. Then u can separate the small left over hose off the nipple of item 312 and hose clamp item 315. 2. Next cut the second identified item 316 hose on the side but this time cut it at the brass fitting on the side item 12 as close as possible to its hose clamp item 8. This allows u to reuse these hoses. 3. Buy two hose clamps for 1/4 inch hose. This then allowed me to free the motor and table side remove the two plastic halves using T20 torx bit on extensions. With the motor hosing open pay attention to the power switch and disconnect the black and red wires. Ensure u remember which goes where on the switch. Pull the yellow wire off the motor flange. Then pull the motor up and out of the plastic housing half and reveal the pressure switch. Unscrew the single screw holding the pressure regulator in place and it will come out. Notice the room and space and orientaion of the pressure regulator and after hose clamp the new part to the cut end....u should have enough slack to reuse the hose u cut since u cut so close to the end. Reassemble and have fun. Pay attention to how wires were routed as u pull things apart.
Great video, only I found for this exact compressor. Did it all, new switch, new clamps, and is still blowing passed the regulator and then blowing the safety still.
That's awesome I wish I had a chance to be able to teach my son to do something well but life is good be blessed out there my friend awesome positive video
Go to EBAY and type this in the search line N003306SV DeWALT Air Compressor Pressure Switch Kit Fits D55141 / 120 - 150 psi that is the part I used. not a bad price and easy to change
Thank you. We did this video many many years ago and we just completed rebuilding his Honda dirtbike. It took us a while so we’re trying to assemble the video clips. But you’ll see he’s much much older.
This part being replaced is the pressure switch, right? The air regulator is the adjustment knob on the manifold, right? Just asking to make sure I buy the right part. Thanks in advance for an answer.
What problem were you experiencing before the repair? I have the same compressor. My problem is that the compressor turns right back on after it drops under 150psi. It will fill up to 150psi and turn right back on as soon as I use it. It’s awesome what you’re teaching your son!
It would come on and not shut off. The high pressure switch would pop off. As far as my son, seems he's interested in all things I do. Much more when he was younger, At a year and a half old, If I was outside, there was not way to keep him inside. There's a video of him first learning to weld sort of with me when he was 5. He does all the maintenance on his motorcycles.
This is my identical issue. Keeps going, doesn’t shut off, fills and fills until the purge valve says, “Nope! PSHHHHHHHHhhhhh!” And it’ll kick right back on without even giving the purge valve a chance to close. Thanks again, gentlemen.
Is that switch the reason it’s not building up air pressure because the motor still works? And there’s no air leak on it but it cuts off at 50 dozen it stops building up air pressure after 50.
Hey guys great video I got the same compressor and what mine is doing is that it will build up pressure like normal and shut off at 150 but then something is bleeding air inside the that black plastic housing where the motor is. Is this what yours was doing to?
I tore it apart and got the motor out of the housing with both air hoses still attached. I fired it up until it cut out and found the leak coming from the hole in the piston head. My guess is there must be a diaphragm under there.
I don't thing so. It was the pressure cutoff switch. Yours sounds like the pressure regulator. I had a larger one I bought years ago that gave me that same problem. That's a part you can get pretty easy, Just got to open it up and see.
@@rotaxrider i found out the bad check valve causes it to leak from the bleeder hole on the head, i went ahead and got all new gaskets, tube seal, valve plate, and valve check. The valve check is Part #: N541850 or D27022. The had ripped apart the head and ruined the gaskets so i was forced to buy the graphite gasket kit Part #: D30139 , and for good measure bought the Valve Plate With Lower Gasket Part #: N017592SV. Save yourself the expense and just get the valve check before tearing everything up because those gaskets break easy, especially when they are extremely old.
I just replaced this on my compressor. Your step 1 should be to remove the black metal cover. If you so this, you don’t need to cut the hose to the tank and you also don’t need to pull the motor out.
More that one way to skin a cat. But thanks. We just broke it open and didn't know what we'd find. We went ahead and fixed the larger one I have also. If we do it again in the future, I'm sure we'll have some short cuts

Thank you for saying so. I wish we had made more videos of these type of projects but we were just too busy doing them.

That is awesome you are teaching that young man! He’s brilliant!
Building a man definitely takes time. I live for these moments as most parents do.
Thanks you for your comment.

Have you ever had to replace/repair the regulator valve? If so, can you post how you did it?
Love the video using Milwaukee tools to fix a Dewalt tool..lolol
Nice job. I have to do same.
Hi. How much the you paid. For the. Regulator. & . We're did you. Got it. I got. One. Same. Model. It. Does the same.
Thanks. Sir. Good job.
I think 20 bucks on eBay
@@JerasiClan ok. Thanks
Thank you and I subscribed and liked as well
Not my son but I'm proud
Do you still monitor the comments here? I have a question about the wiring. Or does anybody have a wiring diagram for the DeWalt D55141 compressor?
What problem were you experiencing before the repair? I have the same compressor. My problem is that the compressor turns right back on after it drops under 150psi. It will fill up to 150psi and turn right back on as soon as I use it. It’s awesome what you’re teaching your son!

Someone needs to look after me when I start wearing Depends.
Is that switch the reason it’s not building up air pressure because the motor still works? And there’s no air leak on it but it cuts off at 50 dozen it stops building up air pressure after 50.
That sounds like the problem. If is builds up to something less that it's should, that's it

What does this mean? I just noticed this comment
I think I have the wiring problem solved.
