Where is the Thermal Overload Reset Located on a Reciprocating Air Compressor?

If your reciprocating air compressor motor has overheated or stopped running (does not make any sound at all), and there is sufficient AC power available to it, you should engage the reset function on the compressor motor or starter. 

To reset your reciprocating air compressor, allow time for the compressor to cool down and then push the reset button before attempting to turn the unit on again.
