What to do if my Miller Multimatic 215 displays 'Stuck electrode-Free tungsten to clear error'?
If your Miller Welding System displays 'Stuck electrode-Free tungsten to clear error', it means the tungsten electrode has become stuck in the weld puddle and turned the output off. Remove the tungsten from the workpiece, and the output will turn back on after about one second.
What to do if my Miller Multimatic 215 displays 'Shorted output'?
If your Miller Welding System shows a 'Shorted output' error, it means the welding wire came into contact with the workpiece while jogging wire. Remove the short and pull the trigger, or wait 30 seconds for the error to clear.
Why is there no weld output from my Miller Multimatic 215 Welding System, even though the unit is on?
If your Miller Welding System is on but there's no weld output, try the following: * Check and secure any loose weld cables into their receptacles. * Check and correct any poor connection of the work clamp to the workpiece.
What causes erratic welding arc or output in Miller Multimatic 215 Welding System?
Erratic or improper welding arc or output in your Miller Welding System can be caused by several factors. Consider the following: * Using the proper size and type of weld cable (consult your Distributor). * Cleaning and tightening weld connections. * Verifying electrode polarity and correcting poor connections to the workpiece.
What to do if my Miller Multimatic 215 displays 'Under voltage'?
If your Miller Welding System displays an 'Under voltage' message, it indicates that the primary voltage is below 90 volts. Increase the primary voltage above 90 volts.
What to do if my Miller Multimatic 215 displays 'Over voltage'?
If your Miller Welding System displays an 'Over voltage' message, it means the primary voltage is above 310 volts. Reduce the primary voltage below 310 volts.
What causes Stick welding problems with Miller Welding System?
Stick welding issues like hard starts, poor welding characteristics, or unusual spattering with your Miller Welding System can arise from: * Using the wrong type and size of electrode. * Incorrect electrode polarity or poor connections. * Having a remote control connected.
Why is the fan not operating on my Miller Multimatic 215?
The fan on your Miller Welding System might not be operating for several reasons: * The unit may not be warmed up enough to require fan cooling. * There might be something blocking the fan movement; check for and remove any obstructions. * If neither of these resolves the issue, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check the fan motor and control circuitry.
What to do if my Miller Welding System displays 'Stuck electrode-Free stuck electrode to clear error'?
If your Miller Welding System displays 'Stuck electrode-Free stuck electrode to clear error', it indicates that the stick welding electrode has become stuck in the weld puddle and turned the output off. Remove the stick welding electrode from the workpiece, and the output will turn back on after about one second.
What to do if my Miller Multimatic 215 displays 'Shorted trigger? Release 4-pin trigger to clear error'?
If your Miller Welding System displays 'Shorted trigger? Release 4-pin trigger to clear error', it means the MIG gun or spool gun trigger is engaged on power up. Release the 4-pin trigger to clear the error.
