      Richard RoseJul 28, 2025
      If your Hobart Welding System isn't producing any weld output but the wire is feeding, ensure the work clamp has good metal-to-metal contact. Also, inspect the connections at the welder's output terminals. It may also be necessary to replace the contact tip.

      Richard DavisAug 3, 2025
      If your Hobart Welding System's wire feeding stops during welding, try these steps: First, straighten the gun cable. Then, adjust the drive roll pressure and readjust the hub tension. If these steps don't work, consider having a Factory Authorized Service Agent check the drive motor. Also, ensure the gun plug is securely in the receptacle, and inspect the leads and trigger switch.

      If your Hobart Welding System has no weld output and the wire isn't feeding, make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the receptacle. Check the power switch and replace it if needed. Also, inspect the gun plug in the receptacle and repair the leads, or replace the trigger switch. Finally, replace the building line fuse or reset the circuit breaker if it's open.
