Check reset if it has one. Look on the control box.
Good unit and definitely worth repairing. Mine is 14 years old and still going after a few hundred resprays

I don;'t know of the unit
but it will have a high pressure cut off switch
and a low pressure cut in switch
[maybe the same switch??]
it also should have a cutout/overload switch
You just need to find it..

my father who bought it new before giving it to me had a look at it today and found the overload switch on the electric motor. He said it happened to him once when he owned it. It was painted over so I didnt see it thankfully it was something simple
