I have a Craftsman Compressor that is convertible from 110V to 220V.
The compressor says "see manual for wiring diagram" but of course the
manual has no wiring information.
I called Sears and they were no help either. I have done some internet
searches, and others have had similar issues, but were able to find a
wiring schematic on the motor. Mine has no wiring diagrams on it
anywhere. It is a GE Motor.
Does anyone have a Craftsman compressor that is convertible from 110V to
220V? If so, can you look on the motor and see if there is any wiring
schematic for changing to 220V?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mike,
A lot of times the wiring schematic is on the back of the wiring box cover.
If not, get me the GE P/N and I can probably help you out.

Mike,
There should be a removable cover (usually a flat plate) which gives access to the wiring connections in the motor. Often, the wiring schematic is on the inside of this cover. That schematic will show the 110 to 220 conversion (if it's there)

I looked on the motor, under the motor, under the capacitor covers on the
motor, inside th motor, inside the cover plate, inside the plastic that
covers the motor... I looked everywhere but inside of the compressor
tank. Unfortunately there are no schematics. That is why I was hoping
someone had one with a schematic on it somewhere as I agree it should be
there somewhere. I did 3 hours of internet searches (as I was watching
the bowl games) and was surprised I could not find anything posted
anywhere on either the GE motor or on the compressor. I called Craftsman
and all they would say was for me to take it into a service center.....
GE has a web site wit compressor motor information, but no wiring diagrams.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

GE Motor information is:
Part #: MD-9041-1
Serial #: SJJ200022
Model: 5KCR49SN2038CX
Craftsman Compressor Model Number: 919-15292. I have attached a
schematic, but I don't know if it will come through.
Thanks

I have a similar compressor - I'll look at it this weekend - I also think I still have the documentation that came with it....If I do, I'll let you know.
Quote:
From memory though the wiring has three wires - for 220 there are two lines(one white, one black) and one ground(green), for 110 the wires go line, load (don't remember which is line or load), and ground(green).

The house wiring determines the phase of the individual line feeds - your house should have two line feeds to run AC/dryer etc and the 220v feed would already be wired according to code by your electrician.
I'm guessing that you have a 110 outlet available and don't want to run 220V?! Keep in mind that 110V will not produce the HP rating that is advertised for the compressor (unless they're advertising under 5hp). It'll still work - just run a little longer per duty cycle.
Been there - done that - installed a 220V feed for my compressor.

Have you considered going back to sears and looking at the book from another
compressor like yours?

Yes, all the ones in the Sears by us are only 110V. They don't seem to
use the dual 110/220V motors anymore. Probably because of cost. Mine is
older and can be wired either 110V or 220V, once you figure out the
secret..... The funny thing is on my internet search, I found a note from
a Sears technician asking the same question! He apparently could not
figure it out either. It is such a simple change I am surprised how hard
it is to find a schematic.....

Mike,
I have an old sears model 106.153681 that I purchased in 1969. The
instructions that came with it state the following:
"CAUTION -- Before rewiring the motor for operation at 115 volts, the
following items must be changed or checked.
1. The motor cord and plug and the pressure switch cord must be changed to
minimum of #12 gauge wire. The plug must also be changed from 230v type to
a 115v type.
2. The supply wiring plug, and protector should be capable of handling a
minimum of 20 amps and meet all local electrical codes for this minimum.
Instructions for wiring the motor for operation at 115 volts will be found
printed on the inside of the motor terminal cover."
If you don't find the data I will check the inside of my motor cover this
weekend.
Ken

Mike,
I have a Model 919.15294--5 HP--25 Gal.. I also have
the instruction manual and the parts manual.
The parts manual shows an exploded view with a power
cord only and tells nothing else about voltage and wiring.
The instruction manual tell nothing of how to change the
wiring to 220 volts; even though it says it is a 110/220 volt
machine. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I have a model 919.152940, 5hp-25gal. In the parts manual there is a
small paragraph that reads "Instructions for connecting the motor
operation at 240 volts can be obtained by ordering Kit #K-0191". It
goes on to say that a new plug is included in the kit and this kit can
be ordered from Sears.
Hope this helps.
