I checked and cleaned the valves and their mating surfaces, which were a little grimy but appeared to be sealing. I would appreciate any ideas or solutions.

Hi, I have an Kobalt 20 gal oil free compressor model #0332041very lightly used but a couple of weeks ago when I went to start it up, it ran and pumped up pressurewhen the pressure was used and or bled off the compressor would not come back on and build any more pressure. But with this compressor it will buzzz when trying to start, but shut itself down before it pops the breaker. If the tank pressure is higher than the 75 PSI youve got the regulator set for, and air is blowing up around the regulator, presumably from the regulator body and not a leak at the fittings or pipe, then I would surmise your regulator needs a new diaphragm. Thank you. The problem is that this device is crimped on and the crimp is a poor job, if you look at the connections they are black from burning and overheating. Of course, Im not an electrician, so someone who is might have other views. I attached some photos please let me know. You will not likely find parts for it, though the whole regulator is priced in the $15-$20 range typically. If it is on that spot it will not turn the piston. The issue is the port sizes, really, as they all work pretty much alike. From the pictures I have found, I suspect the pressure switch is what I call a mini-switch and installs right into the tank. Thanks again. Whats the best way to get the seal off the piston without tearing up the seal or cracking the piston. At any point you might buy a Kobalt air compressor made by YY Company, and it may be possible to get the same model air compressor made by ZZ Company.
