I purchased mine from tsc in 2019 Painting cabinet parts and other daily tasks in the woodshop Recently sandblasting some aluminum wheels Sorry you had trouble with yours thanks for the vid Comment from : Nick Timmons

I've got the same compressor and I've already replaced the motor 2 times also bought the same one I think you did from eBay it's a 6 horse power Comment from : David Moran

Whats the model number, im considering one like it and want to make sure or the model Comment from : JR Armstrong

How much do you pay for that motor? Comment from : Francisco Rodriguez

Your biggest problem is you dont have enough room for anything to breath and cool Instalation instructions even state that the whole unit needs to be a minimum of 12 inches away from walls in all directions Yours is directly against 2 walls no room for air circulation yo keep everything cool Move it away from your walls and out of the corner You will stop burning motors Comment from : Joe Hudak

That’s pretty sad 😞 To pay $890000, or whatever for this unit One ☝️ thing ya could do, is buy another air compressor, and use the receipt 🧾 to it, to take the original air compressor back I understand that the one ☝️ year warranty was over, but the company should have warranted the next motor I think 🤔 there’s a defect in the manufacture 👨 of the motor I know it would be way less of a hassle to go buy an equivalent motor from a reputable supplier, than to tear your air compressor out, go buy another one ☝️, install it, and take your first air compressor back I’d probably be trying to get a settlement out of the company, or the store 🏬 I work for our Tractor 🚜 Supply distribution warehouse, but I’ve never 👎 heard of the motor on these Ingersoll Rand air compressors going bad Sorry 😞 about the long comment (and the emojis) Belt tension may have been a factor Being too tight, it was probably imposing too much of a load on the motor I’m also surprised 😮 that the motors on these are not thermally overload protected Your friend, Jeff Comment from : Jeffrey Hickman

One guy I saw had one this model and his was running high amps (in excess of the 21-22 it says it pulls) at 175psi It was suggested that perhaps his pressure switch may have died as a result, so he got another switch (Square D, NOT the Ingersoll oem replacement) He had a regulator on his outflow that was rated for 155psi so he lowered the pressure on the compressor to 150 and that dropped the amperage pull down around the @21 that it was rated for I’m not really sure how excess amps affect the pressure switch, but thought it might be relevant Comment from : Russ Jordan

The BBB is a jokenothing more than a private corporation that "rates" a business Like if YOU made a list and said good/bad company They can't DO anything Talk to your local state consumer protection dept THEY can actually DO something under the state laws and file a case against the business even a class action suit Comment from : MrMotofy

Cheapo compressor sellers use garbage motors from overseas but you can install an American-made quality motor easily I've done it on several compressors for self and friends The GE motor on my old 5HP Sanborn from the 1980s runs great but the mystery shit it came with died after about eight years hobby usebrbrSaylor-Beall are a very old industrial compressor maker (who really needs to advertise better, I mentioned that to them) who make (not merely "assemble" their compressors in the USA I learned about them by buying two 5 HP units used at auction for next to nothing because the other bidders didn't know it's easy to replace three phase motors or run them off an RPC or VFD like I do my lathe brThey're rugged and durable machines, and of course new single phase SBs are available They are the answer to my air questbrbrAfter owning two I'd absolutely buy a new one if I needed to but now I want more used Saylor-Bealls In order to get 10HP the seller ran two 5HP units for blasting or just one for general shop work which is common Compressors are neat because you can plumb them together with large ID hose and Chicago fittings to use them together or separately feeding one header tank (with or without its own compressor) Comment from : Ob Fuscated

I have had the same unit for 4 yrs and use it in my farm shop Mine has worked well with literally no issues Your motor is definitely dying prematurely, very strange Comment from : TheRice07

Get a TEFC motor Also, sounded like your centrifugal switch was stuck open Easy fix to get a new one but should last a lot longer than 6 months PPS, it wasn't the belt Comment from : David Chavez

Most compressor manufactures want to make their specs seem better than the next guy One way to do this is to run the motor on the service factor If the motor is 100HP, SF is 115 , they will design the compressor to run at 115HP when fully loaded This WILL cause a shortened motor life Comment from : Mark Elliott

Normally, when a part fails under warranty reputable manufacturers will at least extend the warranty on that part Interestingly, Ingersoll has troubleshooting videos on YouTube! brI buy "Made In America" when the quality and overall value is on par with a similar product made in Europe Sadly, most of my stuff is made in Germany, Italy, and Japan Comment from : Juan Esteban

Tighten your belt properly and install a magnetic starter Comment from : RICHGCOOP1

I was shopping for a new 80 gal IR and 2 of the 5 places I went to told me they have been having ALOT of returns for everything from motor failure to pressure switches "Assembled" in USA is the word-smith version of they're still using chicom garbage parts 10-20yrs ago it was different, but IR made their name now have gone cheap I wont go near them Comment from : swede760

Would you mind giving the model number and bran if the motor? The link isn't working anymore Comment from : James Dixon

I agree I bought mine 15 years agothe condenser fell apart, that was never put on properly in the first place IR wanted $400 to replace the condensertheir customer service suck Comment from : Brian McLees

I have that compressor The new one had a rattle to it I have used it with a die grinder for head porting and it will run constantly for about two hours straight Ingersol replaced it in my own shop with one of their techs I still have the 60 gallon compressor from Ingersol that I’ve had for 18 years Comment from : David leary

Air compressors are expensive, for the average Joe it might be the most expensive piece of equipment in his garage The bad news is that good quality air compressors are REALLY expensive which puts them out of reach for many average Joe's I fault the compressor mfg's for trying to put out a unit of this size (80 gal/2 stg) unit with only a 5 hp motor I personally think the smallest motor they should put on a compressor that is pushing 15+ cfm at 90 psi is a 75 hp But the mfg's put the smaller motors and less accessories to keep the price at a point that Joe can tell his buddies he's got an 80 gallon compressor in the garage Comment from : 92xl

Thank you Comment from : Jimmey Mcgee

A bit too late, but the biggest issue I see with all of these supposedly higher horsepower compressors is that the manufacturer doesn't include or makes optional a magnetic starter This is the majority of the problem accounting for the numerous pressure switch and motors burning up This is what costs with other manufacturer when included You can add one yourself for less, but marketing fools many into thinking otherwise Comment from : Boss Hawg

the start capasator is out of it replace it and you are good 2 go Comment from : james johnson

Usually that loud buzz when you try to start it means the start capacitor is bad Comment from : daubendiek

Starter Capacitor Comment from : Dennis Linares

Holy hellthey used to be good the best Comment from : Chris Silva

I think you are the problem Comment from : L Davis

Hi sir you buy a abb Baldor motor really good for compressor systems Comment from : nath krupa

i was just going to buy one 60 GAL thanks for that Infomation !!! Thank you Comment from : Daniel Roy

Why do people use valuable garage space by putting their air compressor right next to the door? Put it in the back, or a remote location and pipe the compressed air to multiple outlets Comment from : Eric Johnson

Looking into purchasing this air compressor and stumbled upon this video Your problem might have to do with how close to the wall you have it mounted and possibly limiting cooling air flowjust food for thought Comment from : Anthony Lorek

If it was out of warranty you have no complaint Maybe you should purchase a Balder motor instead Comment from : Mustang Ecoboost HPP

I bought the IR 60 gallon compressor with the same motor about 2 years ago and have had no problems at all Comment from : Knuckle Busters DIY

i have the same compressor for a little over a year and the rod sized to the crank i took it apart and unseized it and sanded the melted metal from the crank put it back together it's still working but i can't imagine it will for long new pump is $2,500!!! Comment from : Jeremy Hall

Did u check the capacitors Comment from : Ameen alshwaiyat

I added a Magnetic starter to mine and have not had any problems with the motorbrEaton 5 Horsepower Single 1 Phase 230V Magnetic Starter B27CGF30B040 Motor Control Comment from : Joel

Some of the motors they use cost around $200, or somewhere in that range If you’re running an two-stage compressor pump, I’d recommend purchasing a better motor Anything in the $500 range, and above is good Frankly, I’d recommend purchasing a Baldor motor They’re beasts!!!!! Comment from : FYOF

It looks like the motors running on 2 phases Burnt coil Comment from : Philippe Bouchard

I think the sticker says all you need to know "Assembled" NOT made in the USA Sad Comment from : SingleCab

Wow no IR for me! Comment from : D Ginta

Ingersol Rand and Rigid Tools have lost their credibility with customers Goodyear Tire licensed their name to Titan for farm tractor tires which should be considered false advertising This compressor head is made in China ,the motor is made in Mexico , the tank used to be manufactured in the USA This unit is assembled in the USA Want a Good air compressor , buy a Quincy Comment from : VIC Petrishak

mind doing the same exact thing thanks for all the info looks like it's time to buy a new air compressor mine's not even two years old this is the second motor Comment from : Auto Detail

Usually a humming motor is a bad start/run capacitor, and sometimes the starter switch like you said Comment from : Mechotronic

Made in the USA and they will not even help you out! WOW!!!!!!!!!!! Terrible Customer Service!!!!!!!!!!! Comment from : FX Pest Operator

Chinese motor Mine is an Emerson motor Compressor was purchased years ago Had to replace start cap but otherwise has been good Comment from : A S

Same here I have the very same compressor New motor installed under warranty This time the reed valves blew The part is 400 bucks USD It’s half the cost of a new one What is it about air compressors failing? I used mine for lightweight home garage duties Tires, bike lift, etc So disappointed Comment from : Cliff and Howie

I watched your more recent video that Ingersoll Rand finally responded to you We should all know that they did because you are on Youtube and they know the damage this can cause so they did Good luck for most other customers that don't publish their bad experiences on social media This line of compressor are clearly the typical consumer grade craps out there Comment from : V Sohn

Thanks for the info Comment from : k t

You don’t blow out a motor You probably broke it doing that Comment from : Inglebert Humperdink

i bought a brand new ir 2545c10/12 its full of water in oil i change oil weekly and its about to blow pump very expensive piece of junk Comment from : Stephane Bourrigaud

Going through the same Problems not at all happy with this product as well!!! Comment from : Broke Dad’s Garage

IR tech here, the other bozo talking about 13 amps is incorrect Those motors are rated for 208-230/1 @23-25 amps, clearly has no clue No compressor under 75hp needs a contractor , the motor has an overload built into it That’s what the red button is Now I agree with the tech that came out, those motors are TRASH We replace them all the time to the point that IR came out with a separate CCN if your voltage was 208 That SS5 pump? Also trash, wait until the valve plate to head gasket blows internally between the stages and the unit quits making air properly With a recip compressor ALWAYS go with a pressure lube over a splash line Comment from : Air compressor training

you cant over breaker it, 50 may be to big, and allow to much amperage to it, Comment from : Legacy Garage

Check your check valve on your tank if air going back will load compressor and motor I have a ss5 compressor15 years old 2 rebuilds Comment from : twincam825

China Comment from : twincam825

I would not buy anything ingersoll makes compressor are china garbage wont last Comment from : twincam825

E-Max has limited lifetime warranty on their products and the compressor itself is guaranteed to last 50,000 hours Comment from : Keith Lucas

Mine lasted about a year Comment from : Jeff Wilson

What motor did you buy and where did you buy it from and how much did it cost Comment from : Jeff Wilson

That a starter capacitor problem Not a motor problem Comment from : Richard Luna

I was really considering one of these compressors but after how this compressor company treated you I'm not going to deal with them Sorry that you got screwed by them buddy Comment from : William Santiago

Which eBay store did you use Also I have a TS4n5 pump but I need a new crankcase vent and an air filter but need part numbers Comment from : Dan Sisulak

My motor just blew up right now Comment from : taylor curtis

My screw ingersol Rand should have been lemmoned It s a joke, Just sits outside the shop, meanwhile a Quincy 80 gallon runs like a champ Ingersol is all about charging those service fees Comment from : Timothy Kyllonen

What was the ‘run’ current of the motor, at cutoff pressure? A digital meter will NOT give an accurate load measurement You could have a bad compressor, that only shows excessive load only at higher pressures Good luck… Comment from : Duane Baalson

Bad capacitor Comment from : Jesse Robinson

Mines 2 months old broke twice already they still haven't made it right like am supposed to go pop 1500 on a new one Comment from : William Baldwin

Don't put a 50 amp breaker on it Comment from : William Baldwin

IR is shit! Comment from : Jason Harris

That’s not a two stage compressor I have two of them That is a single stage compressor Comment from : Greg Smith

Why is the switch backwards on your compressor I have to flip mine up to start it Your flips forward??? Wierd Comment from : Blah Blah

I’ve had my for 6 hours now and it did the same thing Comment from : Blaine Collins

I have a problem with mine Brand new unit and the shit keeps dying What motor did you get to replace? What a waste of money Comment from : brian watch

your right! I have the same compressor and had the same problem with the motor but mine didn't blew up I test it with no load and it was running great so I reinstalled it with less tension on the belt Now it slips a little at each start but I never had any problems since, Comment from : Vincent Monoeil

Had the same exact issues with mine There motors they use now are garbage Comment from : 65jamie

did the capacitors check out to be correct uf ? Comment from : HollyRock

Bought the same compressor and stopped working 3 days after warranty went out Comment from : Cains Coatings

👍 Comment from : Cielo and sophia Ramos

I've been in the market for a good 60 gallon 2 stage upright I spoke with a local shop they use Bel-Air compressors in their shop with zero issues Excellent customer service and the best warranty 3yrs bumper to bumper Thanks for the great video 👍 Comment from : Davey D

Should have bought a Quincy They come with Baldor motors Comment from : Charles Flores

Hey there I’m attempting to swap motors on my comp, and am struggling to get the motor pulley off How do I remove the metal “cap” that is screwed to the pulley? Comment from : von Felton

FYI, I've had the exact same unit, that I bought at Home Depot in 2002 They were closing out the line at their stores at the time I haven't had any problems with mine and am sorry to hear that yours has not worked out for you I too am a home owner but I use the compressor often mainly for my fabricating and air tools As others mention you might be better off with a better quality motor Comment from : James Tennimon

"Assembled" is not the same as "Made" In The USA Comment from : Benjamin Martin

Typical for IR They turned TRANE into subpar HVAC as well Comment from : Ben Johann

dead capacitor Comment from : BwAMurena

Hi, could you tell me which engine model worked for you?, thanks Comment from : tomas de gracia

Quincy is the only way to go Comment from : Yellow Dog

I thoroughly enjoyed your video (and the follow up) and your down-to-earth presentation style Great job! I do have one question though: What is that white stuff that shoots out of the motor/belt/pulley area on top of the compressor towards you every time you turn the compressor on? It seems to shoot out at the exact same time you hear the chirp from the belt slipping I was thinking maybe frozen condensation (ice) created by a release of the compressed air to atmospheric pressure??? You can see it at 7:31 and 9:10 Just curious Comment from : William A Zinnikas

We have let China kill American built, to save a buck, while telling each other to buy product from the company "WE" work for I don't mind manufacturing defects, but Ingersoll Rand should have taken care of you, period! To offer you a "Credit" for more product? They should have sent you an apology and a check Or better for them, they should have replaced it, to study what happened instead of you doing all the work You shouldn't be the one trying to figure out why they failed They owe you a check for this video lol But I want to finish with saying thank you I'm disappointed with them and you have sent me in another direction Now get back to building cars lol Subscribed :) Comment from : James Doyle

He pretends to take it apart and fix it when in fact there was never anything wrong with it just wanted to make a video Comment from : Kevin Hlavati

Would replacing the pressure switch with a contractor help? Comment from : Code 3 Response Videos
