    Why is the wire speed low or erratic on my Hobart Handler 140?
    • A
      Anthony BeckerAug 22, 2025
      If your Hobart Welding System experiences low or erratic wire speed, here are some potential solutions: * Readjust the weld parameter settings. * Change to the correct size drive roll. * Readjust the drive roll pressure. * Clean or replace the wire inlet guide or liner if it's dirty or plugged. * Readjust the wire reel hub tension. * Check the voltage and connections of the wire drive motor and replace the motor if necessary.

    What to do if Hobart Welding System has no weld output, wire doesn't feed, but fan motor runs?
    • A
      Aaron HartmanAug 30, 2025
      If your Hobart Welding System exhibits these symptoms, it could be due to a few reasons. First, the thermostat TP1 might be open due to overheating; in this case, allow the fan to run with the gun trigger switch off until the unit cools down and the thermostat closes. Also, ensure the Voltage range switch is correctly positioned by rotating the knob until it clicks into place at the desired range setting. Finally, check and secure the gun trigger leads.
