9.0  DIAGNOSTIC CHART FOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING WELDERS 

 

 

 

WELDING ACTION 

CAUSE 

REMEDY

 

 

 

 

Molten metal is blown out 
and ends not joined 

Weld heat too high 
Stock is too small 
Low upset pressure 

Lower heat settings 
Check size rating of welder 
Adjust upset 

Weld is complete but is dry 
and breaks off below surface 
of wire 

Upset pressure too great 
 

Lower upset pressure 
  

Weld good but poorly aligned  Welding dies & clamp fingers 

 
Starting space 
Loose shafts 

Replace worn dies and clamp 
fingers 
Decrease starting space 
Return heads to factory 

Ends of wire buckle and may 
not weld 

Upset pressure too great 
Low weld heat 

Decrease starting space 
Increase weld heat 

Varying weld results 

Stock slipping 
Varying weld voltages 
 
 
 
Wire condition variations 
 
Dies 
Flashings 

Check Clamp finger pressure 
Check electric lines 
Clean and tighten 
transformer connections to 
heads 
Clean wire where clamped in 
dies 
Replace dies 
Clean build-up of flash 
materials 

 
 

 

 
 
 

9.1  ELECTRICAL TROUBLE-SHOOTING OF WELDER

 

 
(CAUTION! Extreme care should be exercised when making 
these tests.  Dangerous voltages are present in the welder.  

Only persons familiar with electrical safety precautions 
should perform these tests.) 

 

9.1.1 TROUBLE-SHOOTING TABLE 

(See section 9.1.3)

 

This electrical trouble-shooting table is furnished as a 

suggested method of trouble-shooting the welder.  The 
individual steps of the table should be performed in the 
order given, to make the tests valid.  The electrical 

schematic (section 10) furnished for these tests show the 
table test points.  The table may be used for welders with 
a different but closely related wiring by using 

corresponding test points.  (During all tests, line voltage 
should be connected to L1 & L2 of the welder.  The heat 
switch should be set to the #1 position. 

 
9.1.2 FINAL ELECTRICAL CHECKS

 

Set the heat switch to the number 1 position, connect the 
voltmeter across the welding dies.  Press the operating 

switch.  The meter reading will typically be less than 10 
VAC.  Consult the weld specification sheet for this value.
