How to fix dymax Welding Accessories lamp that will not ignite?
- S
  Samuel KingAug 4, 2025
  If the lamp in your dymax Welding Accessories won't ignite, several factors could be at play. First, ensure all connections are secure. If the connections are good, the lamp might be past its lifespan; consider replacing the lamp/reflector assembly, especially if it has been used for around 500 hours. Check for corrosion on the negative electrode (brass bracket) and replace it if necessary. Also, verify the main line fuse; if it's blown (and nothing on the unit operates), replace it. Other potential causes include no high voltage from the transformer output (replace the transformer if defective), insufficient ignition voltage (replace the defective component, typically the blocking diode), or no operating voltage causing the lamp to flicker (replace the defective component).

Why dymax Welding Accessories has low output intensity?

  If you're experiencing low output intensity with your dymax Welding Accessories, it could be due to several reasons. The lamp might be nearing the end of its useful life; if it has been used for approximately 500 hours, consider replacing the lamp/reflector assembly. Excessive transmission loss in the light guide can also cause this issue, so replacing the light guide may be necessary. Check for contaminants on the light guide and clean it with isopropyl alcohol (or equivalent); if cleaning doesn't improve the output, replace the light guide. Lastly, ensure the lamp/reflector assembly is correctly installed.

  If the shutter on your dymax Welding Accessories fails to open, the problem could stem from a few sources. The shutter mechanism might be binding, in which case you should replace the component causing the issue. Alternatively, the solenoid could be malfunctioning; if it is defective, replace it. Lastly, a defective timer could also be the culprit, so consider replacing the timer.
