What to do if the Miller Big Blue 800 X Duo Air Pak Welding System displays 'IGBT TEMP'?
- E
  Edward WalkerAug 18, 2025
  If your Miller Welding System displays 'IGBT TEMP', it indicates an IGBT module has overheated. First, inspect the generator cooling system and consider reducing the duty cycle. Ensure the engine access door remains closed during operation to maintain proper cooling airflow. Allow the unit to cool down completely before attempting to restart it. If the problem persists after these steps, it is recommended to have a Factory Authorized Service Agent inspect the unit.

What to do if my Miller Welding System has no weld output but generator power is okay?
- C
  Christina FigueroaSep 6, 2025
  If your Miller Welding System has no weld output but the generator power output is okay at the AC receptacles, try the following: place the Process/Contactor switch in an Electrode Hot position, or in a Remote On/Off Required position and connect the remote contactor to the Remote receptacle. Also, reset supplementary protector CB3, or reset supplementary protector CB9 and/or CB29 and check for a faulty remote device connected to the Remote receptacle. Check and secure connections to the Remote receptacle. Finally, check fuse F2, and replace it if open; if the issue persists, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check the brushes and slip rings, weld excitation circuit, and the rotor.
