Well, my brand new DeWalt jump box, compressor, inverter may have bit the dust.
I was testing the compressor by filling up my truck tires and it went haywire. Screen went dark, compressor kept pumping and the unit went unresponsive. It’s still making this awful noise and I can’t get it to stop. I’m going on 20 minutes of this. There was a slight burning electrical smell at first but the smell has dissipated. It’s 45 degrees outside so not sure if it may have overheated. No fuse to remove, no way to shut it off. It had a FULL charge so depending on the draw of whatever is running, this may go on all night. The current noise is no where close to what the compressor sounds like when running.
This is two disappointments from DeWalt in 24 hours. [emoji35][emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]

Will you get the full 1 cent in cash or store credit?
This sucks, I would take the 1 cent store credit and use it to buy a new pick up truck

That’s the comment of the day!
Ouch that doesn’t sound good. Also can’t mistake that raunchy electrical burn smell, you know when it hits your nose
It died finally. I’m assuming the compressor motor went. It sounded like the RPM’s were falling, I heard some arcing and then a good puff of smoke came out of it.

Damn that sucks bro…..
You got the “Special” model they hold back for the penny deal people ?
At least they are pretty good at taking things back.
My wife says I need to do that more often…. She’s always going “you take that back right now!” 😀
That really sucks.
Well that’s just crappy, hopefully it’s a fluke and is not a common issue.
