Why does my Sealey SUPERMIG180.V3 Welding System produce porous welds?
- E
  erinhowardAug 19, 2025
  If you're experiencing porous welds with your Sealey Welding System, several factors could be at play. Ensure your gas cylinder is open and the gas flow is correctly regulated. Check for and clean a clogged gas cup, and shield the welding site from drafts that might blow away the shielding gas. Also, make sure the joints are free from rust and dirt. The torch should be held at the correct angle and distance (8 to 10mm) from the workpiece. Inspect hoses, connections, and the torch assembly for any gas leaks, and ensure the gas cup is correctly positioned. Finally, the electrovalve might be faulty and need cleaning or replacement.

Why does my Sealey Welding System power source stop?
- R
  Richard HodgeAug 21, 2025
  If your Sealey Welding System stops unexpectedly, it's likely due to the overheating protection being activated because of an overload. The protection will automatically reset once the transformer has cooled down, which usually takes about 15 minutes.

What to do if there is no weld current in Sealey SUPERMIG180.V3 Welding System?
- A
  Allison GregoryAug 23, 2025
  If you're not getting any weld current from your Sealey Welding System, there could be several reasons. A rectifier might have blown and need replacement. There could be a bad connection between the clamp and the workpiece; in this case, you should clean or grind the contact surface and weld area. Alternatively, there might be a break in the earth lead, which would require repair or replacement, or a break in the torch lead, also requiring repair or replacement.

Why does wire feed unevenly in Sealey Welding System?
- K
  katiejenningsAug 26, 2025
  If the wire on your Sealey Welding System feeds unevenly, it could be due to several reasons. The liner might be dirty, so try cleaning it from the machine forward using compressed air. The gas cup or tip could be defective and need replacement. The gas cup might also be spattered, requiring cleaning or replacement. A feed roller groove could be clogged, requiring cleaning, or deformed, requiring replacement. Lastly, the pressure roller tension might be improper and need adjustment.

What to do if wire does not feed in Sealey Welding System?
- A
  alextannerAug 28, 2025
  If the wire on your Sealey Welding System isn't feeding but the feed roller is rotating, first check if the pressure roller is improperly adjusted and adjust the tension accordingly. Also, the torch liner might be clogged with dirt, copper, or dust; clean it from the machine forward using compressed air, and replace the liner if it's too dirty. Additionally, the gas cup or tip could be defective and need replacement. Finally, the wire might be deformed, so check and adjust the roller tension if necessary.

How to fix unstable arc on Sealey Welding System?
- L
  Lisa GloverAug 30, 2025
  If you're getting an unstable arc with your Sealey Welding System, it might be due to incorrect settings, so check them. Another cause might be impurities in the weld area, so try cleaning or grinding the workpiece. Also, a worn or defective gas cup could be the culprit, so consider replacing it.

What causes excessive penetration in Sealey SUPERMIG180.V3?
- A
  Adam MathisSep 1, 2025
  If you're experiencing excessive penetration with your Sealey Welding System, it's likely due to the weld current being too high, so decrease the power and wire speed. Another reason could be that the weld speed is too slow, so move the torch faster. Finally, the torch distance might be incorrect; it should be 8-10mm from the workpiece.

Why is the weld bead too wide with my Sealey SUPERMIG180.V3 Welding System?
- G
  Gregory HurleySep 3, 2025
  If you're getting a weld bead that's too wide with your Sealey Welding System, it could be because the weld current is too high, so decrease the power and wire speed. Another possibility is that the weld speed is too low, so move the torch faster and weave less. Lastly, the arc might be too long, so bring the torch closer to the workpiece.

How to improve penetration on Sealey SUPERMIG180.V3 Welding System?
- J
  jdawsonSep 6, 2025
  If you're experiencing poor penetration with your Sealey Welding System, it might be because the weld current is too low, so increase the power and wire speed. Another reason could be that the arc is too long, so bring the torch closer to the workpiece.

Why is electrode sticking in gas cup of Sealey SUPERMIG180.V3 Welding System?
- A
  Anthony HancockSep 8, 2025
  If the electrode is sticking in the gas cup of your Sealey Welding System, it could be due to a worn or defective gas cup, which would need replacement. Another cause might be a deformed electrode, so check the roller tension. Also, the wire speed might be too slow; see the recommendations for wire speed.
