Why Hobart Welding Products Handler 140 has no weld output, wire does not feed, but the fan motor continues to run?

  If your Hobart Welding Products Welding System has no weld output and the wire doesn't feed but the fan motor continues to run, it could be due to a few reasons. First, the thermostat TP1 might be open due to overheating. Allow the fan to run with the gun trigger switch off to cool the unit down, which should close the thermostat. Also, check the Voltage range switch position and ensure it “clicks” into the detent at the desired range setting. Finally, make sure the gun trigger leads are secure.

  If your Hobart Welding Products Welding System has no weld output and the wire feeds, ensure the work clamp is connected to provide good metal-to-metal contact. Replace the contact tip if necessary. Check for proper polarity connections. Also, verify the thumbscrew securing the gun end to the feed head adapter is tight.

  If your Hobart Welding Products Welding System has no weld output, the wire doesn't feed, and the fan doesn't run, ensure the power cord is securely plugged into the receptacle. If that's not the case, replace the building line fuse or reset the circuit breaker if it's open. Also, make sure the power switch is in the On position and reset the welding power source supplementary protector.

  If you have no weld output and the wire isn't feeding, but the fan motor is still running, here's what you can check: * If the thermostat TP1 is open due to overheating, let the fan run with the gun trigger switch off to cool the unit down until the thermostat closes. * Check the Voltage range switch position and ensure it 'clicks' into the desired range setting. * Ensure the Voltage range switch isn't set to the 'PURGE' position; set it to position 1, 2, 3, or 4. * Make sure the gun trigger leads are secure.
