      If your welding machine exhibits these symptoms, consider the following: * Check for any loose connections inside the machine. * Inspect for an open circuit or loose contact at the output terminal joint. * If the overheating LED is illuminated: * The machine may be in an over-heating protection state, which will reset automatically once cooled. * Verify the thermal switch is functioning correctly and replace if damaged. * Ensure the thermal switch connection is secure; adjust if needed.

    What to do if my CANAWELD Welding System electrode holder becomes very hot during welding?

      If the electrode holder is overheating, it's likely that the rated current of the electrode holder is smaller than the actual working current. Replace it with a higher rated electrode holder.

      If the output current of your welding machine is unstable and the potentiometer doesn't control it, the current potentiometer may have failed and needs replacement. Also, check for any loose contacts inside the machine and reconnect them if found.
