My compressor just won't turn on. I have used it recently to blow off parts before paint and such. I don't know whats going on. I plug it in, flip the on switch and nothing happens! Do I have a bad leak? Is this fixable? Thanks!

Agreed, they don't work forever, but there may be a reason his stopped working which is solvable.
It could be anything from a bad pressure sensor to a loose wire....

Its a Campbell Hausfeld 2 gallon. I got it at Wal-Mart for 60.00. But I don't know whats wrong with it. I might just go get another one if I can't figure out whats wrong with it.

Stupid question but have you checked that the outlet works? If its a GFI circuit it may just need to be reset. Sometimes its the simplest of things.

yeah, also piggybacking on that idea, have you checked the circuit breaker? something like an air compressor could trip a breaker...

I've heard that the Campbell Hausfeld compressor that's sold for cheap at Wal Mart does not last long at all; they tend to fail quickly. Not sure what might be done to get it running; but I've heard many guys complaining on another board about this same compressor and that it has a very short lifespan.

ch just completed a class-action law suit cuz of their crappy products. this sounds like the pressure sensor though, you can take it to a place that sells tools to contractors and see if theyll look at it. Personally, maybe not the most ethical but id just buy a new one and swap it...take the broke one back for cash.
