Water Back Flow

[u/WhatsYourPr0blem]

Hey folks

I recently attempted to blow out an in-ground sprinkler system with a small tank air compressor. While doing the task, I had missed a valve and my air compressor got filled with water, blowing out the top and covering the machine. The motor no longer functions and it sounds like there's water in the tank.

My questions are: is my compressor ruined? Could the motor not turning on be caused by a simple blown fuse? If I let it dry out for a day or two will it come back?

It was a cheap machine that I inherited from a relative, but I really don't have the funds to get a replacement.

Chances are it’s toast.
