    What to do if the Jasic Welding System power LED is OFF and the fan is not working?
    • A
      Amy GomezAug 16, 2025
      If the power LED is off and the fan isn't working, there are a few things to check: * Ensure the primary supply voltage is switched on. If the input fuse has blown, replace it. * Verify the welding power source input switch is turned on. * Inspect for any loose internal connections and secure them.

    Why is there no gas flow when I depress the MIG torch trigger switch on my Jasic MIG 160 Welding System?
    • A
      Andrew RiveraAug 19, 2025
      If there's no gas flow when you press the MIG torch trigger switch, consider these possibilities: * The gas cylinder might be empty, so replace it. * The gas regulator might be turned off; turn it on. * The gas hose could be blocked or cut; inspect and replace it if necessary. * The torch trigger switch lead might be disconnected or faulty; reconnect or replace it.

    What to do if the fault LED is ON and the fan is running on my Jasic MIG 160?
    • J
      Joy JacksonAug 22, 2025
      If the fault LED is on and the fan is running, it could be due to: The machine is under over-heating protection status. Allow the machine to cool; it can recover automatically. Also, check incoming mains supply to ensure it is within 230V +/- 15%.

    Why does the Jasic Welding System overheat LED light up?
    • A
      Amanda TownsendAug 26, 2025
      The overheat LED might light up because of insufficient cooling air. In this case, let the machine cool, and it will automatically start again. Another reason may be that the cooling fan is not running, check and repair the cooling fan.

    What to do if the wire feed motor does not rotate when the MIG torch trigger switch is depressed on my Jasic MIG 160 Welding System?
    • R
      Robert NelsonAug 27, 2025
      If the wire feed motor isn't rotating when you press the MIG torch trigger, try these steps: * Adjust the wire feed speed, as it may be set to zero. * Ensure there is power supply to the wire feed motor. * Inspect and replace the Motor PCB if necessary, as it may be faulty.

    Why is it difficult to ignite the arc on my Jasic Welding System?
    • R
      Roy MckayAug 30, 2025
      If you're finding it hard to ignite the arc, it might be because the welding voltage is too low or the wire feed speed is set too high. Adjust the welding voltage and wire feed speed to resolve this.

    Why does the Jasic Welding System wire continue to feed through when the MIG torch switch is released?
    • D
      davidgalvanSep 2, 2025
      If the wire continues to feed through after releasing the MIG torch switch, the trigger mode switch may be set to 4T rather than 2T. Change the trigger mode switch to 2T. Alternatively, the MIG torch switch might be faulty; replace it.

    Why does the welding current reduce when welding with my Jasic MIG 160?
    • C
      Christopher HarrisSep 4, 2025
      If the welding current decreases while welding, it could be due to a poor work lead connection to the workpiece. Check and secure the work lead connection.

    Why does the TIG electrode melt when an arc is struck with my Jasic MIG 160?
    • P
      Patricia LeeSep 7, 2025
      If the TIG electrode melts when striking an arc, it's likely because the TIG torch is connected to the (+) VE terminal. Reconnect the TIG torch to the appropriate terminal.

    What causes excessive spatter in MMA welding with my Jasic MIG 160?
    • M
      Michael EdwardsSep 10, 2025
      Excessive spatter in MMA welding can be caused by incorrect output polarity connection. Exchange the polarity.
