Dryer leaks from 
purge valve during 
compressor 
loaded cycle. The 
leak may cause 
excessive 
compressor 
cycling or prevent 
the system from 
building air 
pressure.

Purge valve frozen open (cold 
weather operation).

Debris under purge valve seat, 
such as particles from fittings or 
air inlet line.

Purge valve washer installed 
upside-down.

Wrong air line connected to dryer 
port 4 (unloader port).

Purge valve snap ring not fully 
seated in groove.

Yes

Yes

Slight leak from 
purge valve. After 
several hours, the 
supply tank may 
be empty.

regeneration valve not shutting 
off regeneration airflow.

Yes 

No

Remove, inspect, and clean outlet 
check valve and regeneration valve 
diaphragm. Replace if worn or 
damaged.

(more than 
30 seconds), 
accompanied by 
loss of pressure in 
the supply tank.

Outlet check valve not seating.

Regeneration valve not shutting 
off regeneration airflow.

Yes

Yes

Yes

No

Inspect and replace outlet check 
valve as needed.

Replace regeneration valve.

Regeneration 
cycle too short 
(less than 
10 seconds).

High air system demands during 
compressor unloaded cycle.

Pressure-controlled check valve 
not installed in system or not 
working properly.

One-way check valve installed in 
system reservoir instead of, or 
with, pressure-controlled check 
valve.

Regeneration valve not working.

Air governor not working 
properly.

Yes

Yes

Yes

Yes

Yes

Yes

No

No

No

Yes

Increase air system capacity or 
reduce air demands.

Check and replace pressure-
controlled check valve as needed.

Remove one-way check valve. Make 
sure pressure-controlled check
