Why is there porosity in my weld and a variable arc with my Lincoln Electric LN-15 WIRE FEEDER IM910 Welding System?
- B
  Billy StuartAug 16, 2025
  Porosity and a variable arc can result from several issues: the part being welded may be wet, dirty, or rusty; the electrode could be wet, dirty, or rusty; there might be insufficient shielding gas flow due to cuts in the gas hose; moisture or water could be present in the shielding gas line; there may be too much shielding gas; excessive wind or drafts; the arc voltage might be set too high; or the wrong shielding gas could be in use.

What causes a variable or "hunting" arc in my Lincoln Electric LN-15 WIRE FEEDER IM910?
- Y

  A variable or "hunting" arc can be caused by a worn or melted contact tip, a worn work cable or poor work connection, a loose electrode connection, or using the wrong electrode polarity for the welding process.

Why does the wire feed speed vary during welding with my Lincoln Electric LN-15 WIRE FEEDER IM910 Welding System, even though the meter reading is constant?
- M
  Megan PierceAug 22, 2025
  If the wire feed speed varies during welding while the meter reading remains constant, it could be due to the drive rolls slipping because of feeding problems. Other potential causes include the LN-15 being in CC mode instead of CV mode, excessive spindle brake resistance, insufficient tension in the wire drive pressure arm, using non-Lincoln electrodes, or the LN-15 not being set for CV welding on power-up. To resolve this, verify that the LN-15 is set for CV welding, increase the tension in the wire drive pressure arm, reduce the spindle brake resistance, and ensure that you are using Lincoln electrodes.

Why does the shielding gas turn on sporadically or stay on all the time with my Lincoln Electric Welding System?
- D

  Sporadic or constant shielding gas flow can be caused by excessive pressure in the gas line (exceeding 80 psi or 5.5 bar) or a failed gas solenoid.

What to do if the wire drive stops feeding wire after 10 seconds on my Lincoln Electric LN-15 WIRE FEEDER IM910?
- J
  Joann SchultzAug 28, 2025
  If the wire drive stops feeding wire after about 10 seconds, it could be due to the motor exceeding its current rating. Check that the electrode slides easily through the gun liner. Also, verify that the spindle brake is not set too tight. Use only Lincoln electrodes for best results. Wait 10 minutes for the wire feeder to cool.

Why is the wire feed speed range only 50 - 601 in/min on my Lincoln Electric Welding System?
- L
  Leslie CruzAug 31, 2025
  The limited wire feed speed range (50 - 601 in/min) indicates that the 83% wire feed speed dual procedure is activated with the high-speed gear. To resolve this, check the dual procedure switch in the gun.

Why is the wire feed speed range only 50 - 374 in/min on my Lincoln Electric Welding System?
- T
  Tiffany HensleySep 3, 2025
  The limited wire feed speed range (50 - 374 in/min) suggests that the 83% wire feed speed dual procedure is activated with the low-speed gear. To fix this, check the dual procedure switch in the gun.

What to do if the voltage display reads "0.0" volts during welding on my Lincoln Electric LN-15 WIRE FEEDER IM910 Welding System?
- J
  Jason BarnesSep 6, 2025
  If the voltage display reads "0.0" volts during welding, the power source meter polarity switch is likely in the wrong position. Set the power source meter polarity switch to match the welding process.

Why does “POS”, “PRE” or “BRN” show on the display of my Lincoln Electric Welding System?
- P
  Patrick BautistaSep 9, 2025
  The appearance of "POS", "PRE", or "BRN" on the display indicates that the LN-15 is in the Press and Spin set-up mode, or one of the DIP switches on the feed head board is set to "ON" for timer setting mode. It could also mean that it is an old ALPHA unit and a DIP switch is in the wrong position. Try cycling power to the LN-15 or wait 45 seconds.

Why does the wire drive turn off periodically while operating on an engine drive with my Lincoln Electric Welding System?
- M
  Matthew ParksSep 12, 2025
  The wire drive may turn off periodically because the supply voltage for the LN-15 is too low.
