How to fix erratic weld current on a Miller Thunderbolt XL Welding System?
If you're experiencing erratic weld current with your Miller Welding System, try cleaning and tightening all weld cable connections.
How to stop noise and vibration from the shunt block on a Miller Welding System?
If you are experiencing noise and vibration from the shunt block of your Miller Welding System, try lubricating the shunt block and/or tightening the adjustment screws.
What to do if the electrode keeps freezing to the work with my Miller Thunderbolt XL Welding System?
If the electrode is freezing to the work when using the Miller Welding System, try increasing the amperage setting. You can also try increasing the arc length. Ensure you are using dry, properly stored electrodes.
What to do if there's no weld output and the fan isn't running on my Miller Welding System?
If there is no weld output and the fan isn't running on your Miller Welding System, ensure that the line disconnect switch is in the On position. Also, check the line fuses and replace them if they are open. Reset the breakers if necessary.
