Why does my Power Fist MINIMIG 130E overheat and trip the circuit breaker?
Your Power Fist Welding System might be overheating due to the use of an extension cord or an overloaded circuit. If you're using an extension cord, try relocating the welding unit to avoid it, or use a thicker one. The welding unit requires a dedicated circuit, so remove all other electrical devices from the circuit.
What to do if nothing works on my Power Fist Welding System except the fan?
If the only thing working on your Power Fist Welding System is the fan, it's possible that the duty cycle has been exceeded, causing the thermal protector to open. Allow the welding unit to cool down for at least 10 minutes, and ensure you observe and maintain the proper duty cycle. Another potential cause is a faulty trigger on the torch, which would require replacing the torch trigger. It could also be a faulty transformer, which would need to be replaced.
How to fix a Power Fist Welding System when the arc works but it's not feeding wire?
If the arc works on your Power Fist Welding System, but the wire isn't feeding, it could be due to several reasons. There might be no tension on the drive roller, so you should adjust the drive tension. Alternatively, the wire speed control assembly or the drive motor might be faulty, requiring replacement.
What to do if my Power Fist Welding System hums but does not weld?
If your Power Fist Welding System hums but doesn't weld, it could be due to inadequate current or poor connections. Check the work clamp, cable, and connection to the workpiece. Also, inspect all external connections on the welding unit.
Why is there no arc on my Power Fist MINIMIG 130E Welding System even though the wire feed works?
If the wire feed works but there's no arc on your Power Fist Welding System, the issue might stem from a bad ground or loose connection. Inspect the ground and connections, tightening them as needed. Another possibility is a bad connection to the torch or a faulty torch, which would necessitate checking the connection or replacing the torch.
How to troubleshoot a Power Fist MINIMIG 130E that doesn't hum when turned on?
If your Power Fist Welding System doesn't hum when turned on, the issue could be due to no power at the power outlet. Check the circuit fuse or circuit breaker. Another potential cause is a broken or damaged power supply cord, which would need to be replaced.
