What to do if there is no weld output, wire doesn't feed, but the fan runs on my Hobart Welding Products Welding System?

  If your Hobart Welding Products Welding System has no weld output, the wire doesn't feed, but the fan motor continues to run, it could be due to overheating. Allow the fan to run with the gun trigger switch off, so the thermostat closes when the unit has cooled. Also, check the Voltage range switch position and make sure it 'clicks' into place at the desired range setting. Finally, ensure the gun trigger leads are secure.

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