  If no gas flows when you press the torch switch on your Everlast Welder, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if there is gas in the gas cylinder and replace it if empty. Next, inspect the gas pipe for leaks and resolve any found. The gas solenoid valve might be damaged, so check, clean, and replace if necessary. A damaged torch switch could also be the cause, so repair or replace it. Lastly, a damaged control board could be the issue, so inspect the circuit.

Why does my Everlast Welder stop welding and the warning light is on, but the wire continues feeding?
- T
  Tina DelgadoAug 25, 2025
  If your Everlast Welder stops welding, the warning light is on, and the wire continues feeding, it indicates that self-protection has engaged. Check for over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, lower-voltage and over-temperature conditions. If overheated, allow the unit to cool. If it is an over-current situation, use a shorter wire stick out or smaller diameter wire, or reduce power settings with large diameter wires. Inspect the power plug for any issues. If the over-current trips easily, the resistor value might be too low.

How to fix an Everlast POWER MTS 211Si Welder that is overheating when the fan is not working?
- R
  Regina WallaceAug 27, 2025
  If your Everlast welding machine is overheating and the fan isn't working, the fan may be damaged. Check the fan housing and the fan itself, and replace if necessary. Also, the fan power connector might be loose, so tighten the wires and check for any dislodged connectors.

How to reduce excessive spatter when using my Everlast Welder?
- E
  erichardsonAug 27, 2025
  Excessive spatter when using your Everlast Welder can be reduced by addressing a few potential causes. If the voltage is too high, the arc force is too high, or the wire speed is too high, lower the voltage or increase the wire speed. Check the torch angle, ensuring it's less than 15° when pushing or pulling. Adjust the arc force settings to further reduce spatter and change the nozzle size.

What to do if my Everlast POWER MTS 211Si is on but the power light isn’t?
- A

Why is the welding voltage or current uncontrollable on my Everlast POWER MTS 211Si Welder?
- C
  Caleb SloanAug 31, 2025
  If the welding voltage or current is uncontrollable on your Everlast Welder, it could be due to a damaged potentiometer, in which case you should repair or replace it. Alternatively, the control board might be damaged, so check the circuit.

Why does my weld look sooty or oxidized when using my Everlast POWER MTS 211Si?
- H
  Heather CooperSep 2, 2025
  A weld that appears sooty or oxidized when using your Everlast Welder may be due to poor metal preparation, insufficient gas flow, excessive torch angle, using the wrong gas type, windy conditions, or a plugged nozzle. To resolve this, thoroughly clean the metal, check the gas flow and reposition the gun to prevent turbulence. If necessary, move indoors. Reposition the welder to prevent the fan from blowing on the weld area, and clean the nozzle.

Why does my Everlast Welder have an intermittent or wandering arc?
- D
  Denise MarksSep 4, 2025
  An intermittent or wandering arc on your Everlast Welder can occur if the work clamp is not secure, is damaged, or if the environment is too windy. Check the work clamp, change its position, and attach it directly to the work. Also, move out of the wind.

What causes no arc or no output voltage in my Everlast POWER MTS 211Si?
- B
  bbensonSep 5, 2025
  If you're experiencing no arc or no output voltage with your Everlast Welder, it might be due to the work clamp being engaged in the wrong connector, so change the polarity. Another potential cause is a damaged control circuit, so check the circuit.

Why does the wire feed irregularly on my Everlast POWER MTS 211Si Welder?
- D
  Dominique GarrisonSep 7, 2025
  Irregular wire feeding on your Everlast Welder can be caused by using the wrong drive roller or the wrong size drive roller, having too little tension on the wire, or the wire being in the wrong groove. To fix this, check and match the wire size to the groove size, increase the tension on the drive rollers, and ensure the wire is not riding on the shoulder of the drive roller.
