To Next PageTo Next PageWhat to do if my Lincoln Electric Welding System shows ERROR CODE 36, Thermal trip?
If the Lincoln Electric Welding System displays error code 36, this indicates a thermal trip. This may occur because the machine is overloaded, so ensure that the welding duty does not exceed the machine's rating.
Why is the output low on my Lincoln Electric Welding System?
If your Lincoln Electric Welding System's output is low, resulting in cold welds with rounded or bumped-up beads, first check the input voltage to ensure it matches the nameplate rating. Also, verify that the wire feed speed and voltage settings are correct for the welding process you are using. Confirm that the output polarity is correct for the process, and inspect the welding cables and gun assembly for any loose or faulty connections.
What to do if my Lincoln Electric POWER MIG 262MP Welding System displays error code 213?
If your Lincoln Electric Welding System shows Error code 213, which indicates a communication issue between the display P.C. board and the power control board, try cycling the power to the machine.
Why does the wire feed stop while welding with my Lincoln Electric POWER MIG 262MP?
If your Lincoln Electric Welding System's wire feed stops during welding but restarts when the trigger is released and pulled again, examine the wire feed drive rolls and motor for smooth operation. Check for any restrictions in the wire feed path. Ensure the gun liner and tip are correct for the wire size being used. Also, check the spindle for ease of rotation, and verify that the drive rolls and guide plates are clean and the correct size.
What causes ERROR 81 or ERROR 95 on my Lincoln Electric POWER MIG 262MP Welding System?
If your Lincoln Electric Welding System displays ERROR 81 or ERROR 95, indicating a main motor or gun motor overload, it may be caused by drive rolls that don’t match the wire size or wire type. Check the drive rolls. Also, a bad gun liner can cause this issue, so try a different gun.
Why is there no wire feed when I pull the trigger on my Lincoln Electric Welding System?
If there is no wire feed when the gun trigger is pulled on your Lincoln Electric Welding System, but there is correct open circuit voltage, and the wire drive motor is running, ensure that the correct drive rolls are installed in the machine. Check for a clogged cable liner or contact tip, and ensure the cable liner and contact tip are the proper size. Also, check if the spool gun mode is selected on the screen, and verify the wire spindle rotates easily, adjusting the break tension knob if needed.
How to fix no control of wire feed speed on Lincoln Electric POWER MIG 262MP Welding System?
If your Lincoln Electric Welding System has no control of wire feed speed, but other machine functions are normal, the wire feed speed control may be dirty. Rotate it several times to see if this resolves the issue.
Why does my Lincoln Electric POWER MIG 262MP Welding System have output when the gun trigger is not pulled?
If your Lincoln Electric Welding System has output voltage and wire feed even when the gun trigger is not pulled, remove the gun assembly from the machine. If the problem is solved, the gun assembly is faulty and needs repair or replacement. If the issue persists after removing the gun assembly, the problem lies within the POWER MIG® 262MP.
How to troubleshoot an unstable arc on a Lincoln Electric Welding System?
If the arc is unstable or starting poorly with your Lincoln Electric Welding System, check for the correct input voltage to the machine. Inspect the gun tip for wear or damage and ensure it is the proper size, replacing it if necessary. Check the work cable and connections for looseness or faults. Examine the gun for damage or breaks, ensure proper drive roll orientation and alignment, and verify the liner is the correct size.
What to do if fans does NOT operate when gun trigger is pulled in Lincoln Electric?
If your Lincoln Electric Welding System's fan does not operate when the gun trigger is pulled, ensure that the correct voltage is applied to the machine. Verify that the power switch is in the ON position, and make sure the circuit breaker is reset.
