Porter Cable MOD C2001-WK stopped

[cdavidl]

My compressor just stopped running. Motor did nothing. I plugged it in several months later and it makes a clanking noise and has an burnt electric smell. I quickly unplugged it and it now sits. What should I be looking for? I have not had time to remove the housing. That will be my next step in a week or so. We are in the process of moving to another city and it will be packed soon. Thanks in advance.

Hey cdavidl,
ugh..clanking and a burnt smell is never a good sign..but once you open the housing your problem should present itself..possible bad piston/rod assy..burning smell could be from the drag on the motor or a more serious prob with the winding..any combination of problems sometimes makes the repair not economical..
hope this helps?
