      If your Hobart Welding System isn't providing weld output, and the wire isn't feeding but the fan is running, here are some things to check: * Ensure the Voltage switch S2 is correctly positioned. Rotate the knob until it clicks into place at the desired range setting. * Make sure the gun trigger leads are securely connected to receptacle RC3. * Check the continuity of the gun trigger leads, and repair or replace the gun if needed. * Inspect the Voltage switch S2 for continuity, and replace it if necessary. * Examine the diodes in the main rectifier SR1, and replace them if necessary. * Look for signs of winding failure in the main transformer T1. Check the continuity across windings, ensure proper connections, and check secondary voltages. Replace T1 if necessary. * Check t...

      Sarah MillerNov 19, 2025
      If your Hobart Welding System's electrode wire stops feeding during welding, consider the following: * Straighten the gun cable or replace any damaged parts. * Readjust the drive roll pressure. * Change to the proper drive roll groove. * Readjust the wire reel hub tension. * Replace the contact tip if it's blocked. * Clean or replace the wire inlet guide or liner if they're dirty or plugged. * Replace the drive roll or pressure bearing if they're worn or slipping. * Secure the gun trigger leads in receptacle RC3. * Check the continuity of the gun trigger leads and repair or replace the gun if necessary. * Check and clear any restrictions at the drive assembly and liner. * Release the gun trigger and allow the gun and motor protection circuitry to reset. * Check T1 ...
