Well my Chinese knockoff, KNOCKED OUT this afternoon. Motor inside caught on fire. Manufacturer said that I was not using a large enough pump since the specs on Chinese are less than perfect. They suggested going to a 1 hp from the 1/2 hp and are shipping today , so I should have quickly. I did replace everything else too 4 months ago. I assume that the head pressure relief valve and check valve would not have been affected. I hope I can just replace the compressor and it will all work again.

ANYBODY have any ideas on what went wrong besides under capacity ???

Smoke was coming from internal on the compressor for sure and stopped when switched off manually....

Of course there are no techs around to bounce this off of ....
