9-17. Troubleshooting Guide For GMAW (MIG) Welding Process
Problem
Probable Cause
Remedy
Wire feed motor operates, but
wire does not feed.
Too little pressure on wire feed rolls.
Increase pressure setting on wire feed rolls.
Incorrect wire feed rolls.
Check size stamped on wire feed rolls, replace to match
wire size and type if necessary.
Wire spool brake pressure too high.
Decrease brake pressure on wire spool.
Restriction in the gun and/or assembly.
Check and replace cable, gun, and contact tip if
damaged. Check size of contact tip and cable liner,
replace if necessary.
Wire curling up in front of the
wire feed rolls (bird nesting).
Too much pressure on wire feed rolls.
Decrease pressure setting on wire feed rolls.
Incorrect cable liner or gun contact tip size.
Check size of contact tip and check cable liner length
and diameter, replace if necessary.
Gun end not inserted into drive housing properly.
Loosen gun securing bolt in drive housing and push gun
end into housing just enough so it does not touch wire
feed rolls.
Dirty or damaged (kinked) liner.
Replace liner.
