​How to Remove the Fault Light on a Screw Air Compressor

2025-12-10

When the fault light on a screw air compressor illuminates, appropriate checks and handling are required.


First, understand the cause of the fault light illumination. Common causes include motor failure, clogged oil filter, excessively high oil temperature, or excessively low oil level.


Next, we will explain in detail how to remove and handle the fault light.


Before removing the screw air compressor fault light, ensure the equipment is powered off to avoid the risk of electric shock. Then, use appropriate tools to remove the screws securing the fault light, which are usually located on the equipment's outer casing. After removing the screws, the fault light can be gently removed. Do not force it off to avoid damaging the equipment.


After removing the fault light, inspect its internal components for damage or abnormalities. If internal damage is found, replace the fault light. When replacing the fault light, ensure it is the same model as the original to guarantee normal equipment operation.


In addition to removing the fault light, a comprehensive inspection of the equipment is necessary. Check the motor, oil filter, oil temperature sensor, and other critical components to ensure they are functioning correctly. If any abnormalities are found, they need to be addressed promptly to prevent the fault light from illuminating again. For example, if the motor is faulty, check if the motor connections are loose or damaged; if the oil filter is clogged, clean or replace the oil filter.


After addressing the fault light and inspecting the equipment, reinstall the fault light, ensuring all components are correctly installed. Then, restart the equipment and observe if the fault light returns to normal. If the fault light remains illuminated, further inspection of other parts of the equipment may be necessary, or assistance from a professional technician may be required.


In general, removing the fault light from a screw air compressor requires careful handling and a thorough inspection. Following these steps can effectively resolve the issue of the fault light illuminating and ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
