Troubleshooting

Symptom

Possible Cause

Possible Solution

Welder  does  not 
power  up  or  the 
breaker trips.

1.  Plug/receptacle  is  at  fault  or  wired  incor-

rectly.

2.  Wiring is open/has high resistance.

3.  ON/OFF switch is at fault.
4.  Duty cycle exceeded.

1.  Test for good contacts; correct the wiring.

2.  Check  for  broken  wires  or  disconnected/corroded 

connections, and repair/replace as necessary. 

3.  Replace faulty ON/OFF switch.
4.  Allow several minutes to cool with the On/Off switch 

in  the  Off  position,  then  attempt  to  power  up  the 
machine again. 

Wire  does  not  feed 
properly.

1.  Insufficient wire feed spring tension
2.  Wire  guide  sheath  in  the  welding  torch 

assembly is blocked.

3.  Wire spool axle nut is too tight.
4.  Wire  reel  has  oxidized  or  poorly  wound 

wire. 

1.  Tighten the spring tension knob.
2.  Clean wire sheath or replace welding torch assem-

bly.

3.  Loosen nut so the reels moves freely.
4.  Replace wire wheel.

Reduced  welding 
power.

1.  Ground cable is not connected or is poorly 

connected.

2.  Internal connection loose on switches.

3.  One or more rectifiers failed.

1.  Check the ground cable for proper connection.

2.  A qualified welding technician should open the unit 

and check for loose connections.

3.  A qualified welding technician should open the unit 

and check for burnt rectifiers.

Porous  or  spongy 
welds.

1.  Little or no gas.

2.  Clogged holes in welding torch.
3.  Solenoid valve blocked

4.  Poor quality gas or wire.

1.  Check presence of gas, condition of supply line, and 

gas pressure.

2.  Clear clogged holes using compressed air.
3.  A qualified welding technician should open the unit 

and check solenoid operation and electrical connec-
tion.

4.  Gas must be very dry. Use a moisture filter. Use a 

different type of wire. 

Gas supply does not 
switch off.

1.  Worn or dirty solenoid valve.

1.  A  qualified  technician  should  open  the  unit  and 

dismantle the valve to clean the orifice and seating 
element.

Pressing  welding 
torch  trigger  pro-
duces no result.

1.  Faulty  welding  torch  trigger;  disconnected 

or broken control cables. 

2.  Overload controller defective.

1.  A qualified welding technician should open the unit 

and  remove  the  torch  connection  plug  and  short 
circuit poles. Check and repair control cables.

2.  A qualified welding technician should open the unit 

and replace the overload controller.
