Mike,
There is a thermal cutoff switch on the motor. It should be a red button.
Try pushing it in to see if the motor resets. If that doesn't work, remove
the cover off of where the wires go into the compressor and look for any
broken or loose connections. If all looks good, use a voltmeter to check
the power going into and out of the switch. If there is power going in and
not out, the pressure switch is bad. If there is no power going in, you
have a problem with electricity to the compressor. If there is power both
in and out and the motor isn't running, the motor is bad.

Subject: [Healeys] Compressor Power
I have an almost new Sears upright single stage 60 Gallon oil type
compressor that has been a great tool to have for many uses. Recently I
tried to turn it on and got nothing. I went to the fuse box on the side
of the house and one of the two breaker levers on the 220 circuit breaker
that came with the house for the 220 dryer outlet was tripped. I reset it
and then manually tripped both of them and reset them again. The
compressor still acted as if it were dead and the circuit breakers were
not tripped! Any ideas on this. I am not an electrician and can barely
install the wiring harness on my cars. Do I need an electrician?
