Please note that there are quieter compressors on the market, but this one delivers higher pressure than most of those ultra quiet models. The reduced noise level is appreciated every time I use it. This DeWalt is light making it easy to move around, yet supplies all the air I need for home projects. Both of those compressors were uncomfortably noisy requiring hearing protection and a location no where near where I was working to be comfortable. The compressors I replaced with this unit included a standard pancake compressor that malfunctioned after minimal use and a large 30 gallon garage compressor that I no longer need the high volume of air it produced. Also, since I often use a compressor in my garage and house, I wanted one that wasn't obnoxiously loud. I was looking for a small compressor capable of putting out more pressure than a standard pancake compressor. It doesn’t have to be perfect, just has to hold a certain valve part in place. Replace that spring with any that fits (approx 6mm wide by 20mm long and really thin gauge wire 0.5mm). That’s when I found a completely disintegrated and corroded to dust spring there. Then I used a Philips size 3 (large) screwdriver to gently unscrew the plastic valve and remove it from the metal manifold. Use pliers to pull out the plunger type thing. It’ll get stuck at a stop, keep unscrewing until it’s completely removed. You have to unscrew (counterclockwise) the regulator knob. Remove all air from the tank and unplug before attempting fix. The attached photos are for a different model compressor but the parts are the same. After a lot of tinkering I found the problem and the fix!! The faulty regulator is fixed now and it’s working perfectly again. You could hear air leaking from the regulator and the pressure wouldn’t go past 50 psi. I bought the compressor a couple of years ago and very infrequently used it.
