Welder Troubleshooting: 

                               

                                                  

 

The following operation requires sufficient professional knowledge on electric aspect and comprehensive safety 
knowledge. Make sure the input cable of the machine is cut off from the electricity utility before uncovering the 
welding machine.

 

 

Malfunction  

Cause and Solution 

 
Turn on the machine, the power LED is off, the fan 

doesn't work, and no welding output. 
 

(1)

 

Check if the power switch is closed. 

(2)

 

No input power. 

Turn on the machine, the fan works, but the output 
current is unstable and can't be controlled by 
potentiometer when welding. 

(1)

 

The current potentiometer fails. Replace it. 

(2)

 

Check if any loose contact exists inside the machine. If 
any, reconnect. 

Turn on the machine, the power LED is on, the fan 
works, but no welding output. 

 

(1)

 

Check if any loose contact exists inside the machine. 

(2)

 

Open  circuit  or  loose  contact  occurs  at  the  joint  of 
output terminal. 

(3)

 

The overheating LED is on. 

a)

 

The  machine  is  under  over-heating  protection 

status.  It  can  recover  automatically  after  the 
welding machine is cooled. 

b)

 

Check  if  the  thermal  switch  is  ok.  Replace  it  if 
damaged. 
 

 

The electrode holder becomes very hot. 
 

The rated current of the electrode holder is smaller than its 

actual working current. Replace it with a bigger rated current. 

 
Excessive spatter in MMA welding. 
 

The output polarity connection is incorrect. Exchange the 
polarity.
