Yes it always relived the excess from this part however it never stops I took the whole thing apart and checked it’s an electric solenoid, unfortunately the ware thank you is Up worst part is I never even used this compressor it was my spare and I only tested it upon receiving. I am gonna have to buy a new one, now it’s decided it don’t want to kick on I take it I got a lemonA bit of info on the Masters 2 piston compressor TC828
Double Switch for Automatic On/Off Shutoff:
- First Switch Position: Preset for automatic turn on when air tank pressure is below 43 PSI and Preset for automatic turn off when air tank reaches 57 PSI. The reduced running time means there will less motor wear and less heat-related moisture enabling a longer compressor life.
- Second Switch Position: Allows air tank to reach the maximum pressure of 85 PSI then the Automatic Safety Release Valve releases the excess pressure.
Could this be what is happening to yours? Which is normal and not a problem.

So all the sudden my compressor is slowly letting air out of this side of the twin pistons? How do I fix this ? Why is this doing that ?
my compressor makes so much noise I almost needed a diaper first time hearing that sound...My big compressors make no silents (or other kind) sounds while shut off, but they have different valves to the one used in these type small compressors. So, there's no reason to compare them.
I rotated and embedded it for easier viewingI don’t know why it post the pic sideways how do I rotate it ? For some reason it show correctly when posting?
Yes vlad, it always releases the air in the pistons when the compressor cuts off. However, before when I first got it, it would not drain the entireWhat you describe is not a problem, I suppose. And there's nothing ti fix there.
I had similar compressor to yours (decade ago), it had the same valve. This valve works for letting air off the line between the pistons and the tank for the reason motor would start unloaded. The valve makes loud noise when switch regulator shuts the motor and then it makes very very silent "shhh" sound when the motor is off. I don't know if that silent sound is normal thing, but it's the way mine worked and I had no worries about it.
