    How to troubleshoot no weld output and no display on CIGWELD TRANSarc 170i Welding System?
    • A
      Amanda MorganAug 1, 2025
      If there's no weld output and all front panel displays are off on your CIGWELD Welding System, it could be due to several reasons: * The main power switch might be off; set it to 'ON'. * The line fuse could be blown, requiring replacement. * The main power switch might be faulty and need replacement. * The power inverter board or control board could be faulty and need replacement. * The display board might be faulty and need replacement.

    What to do if there is no weld output and the over temperature light is on in my CIGWELD TRANSarc 170i?

      David RobinsonAug 7, 2025
      If your CIGWELD Welding System has no weld output and the yellow over temperature light is on, it indicates that the unit has overheated. Allow the unit to cool down with the fan running until the over temperature light turns off. Also, check the airflow inlet and outlet ducts for any blockages and remove them. If the fan isn't working, replace it, ensure the fan wiring header is securely plugged into the control board, and verify that the fan wiring is not damaged.

    Why weld output doesn't work when pressing torch trigger on CIGWELD Welding System?
    • Q
      qmorrisAug 13, 2025
      If the weld output does not operate when the torch trigger switch is depressed on your CIGWELD Welding System, it could be due to several potential issues: * Check the continuity of internal wiring from the 8-pin control socket through to the boards. * If the over temperature light is on, allow the unit to cool down. * Repair any shorted trigger wires to the weld voltage inside the TIG torch. * Check and repair any faulty trigger wires or the torch switch. * The power inverter board, control board, or display board might be faulty and require replacement.

    What to do if CIGWELD Welding System has no weld output and flickering display?
    • A
      Amy HaynesAug 19, 2025
      If there is no weld output and the front panel displays are off or flickering on and off on your CIGWELD Welding System, it is possible that the internal protection circuit has been activated because the mains supply voltage is too high. Ensure that the mains supply voltage is less than 274VAC. Note that a generator with poor voltage regulation might cause a supply voltage exceeding 274VAC. Connect the power source to a supply voltage below 274VAC.
