I have worked on air compressors in industrial inviorment for over 45 years=

These new little home style ones that I have seen all seem to have=20
different types of switches.  Of maybe 8 to 10 compressors that I have=20
looked at there was nothing in common on the switches I looked at.

Good luck.  I think a lot of them are Throw away rather then repair.
