My 2 Year Old $2500 Compressor Just Died

The "Chinese" make what the manufacturer specifies.

Your beef is not with them or with TP tools.

It is with Champion.

They must know they are selling you a crapshoot motor or the warranty would be the same as the compressor.

Ill not totally on board with that. IDK if TP specified the "winding coating thickness" or other minutia involving an electric motor build contract. They probably just requested "2.5HP, 120/230V 1 or 3 phase and frame size...and a 1 yr warranty" in a low bid contract. They got what they wanted. Even old GOOD motors are available cheap on Craigs. Id expect to buy another GOOD used motor for that compressor before TP gets through with you. Bummer.
