  Larry MorrisAug 8, 2025
  If your Unitor Welding System shows no output and a yellow warning light, it could be due to several reasons. First, check the vessel's power supply for blown fuses or loose connections, as one phase might be missing. If the thermal protection is activated from overuse, allow the machine to cool down, then weld with more breaks or at a lower current. Ensure that the cooling airflow isn't blocked. Inspect electrode holder or ground cable connections for heat development due to looseness. Also, a broken fan may be the reason, so repair or replace it. Lastly, too much dirt in the power source compartment may cause this, so clean it.

  Kimberly BurkeAug 14, 2025
  If your Unitor Welding System has no output, no warning light, and the fan isn't running, the primary power isn't reaching the machine. Check the mains fuses, ensure the machine is plugged in, and inspect the primary cable for any breaks. Also, verify that the cable connection to the machine is secure, the machine is switched on, and the on/off switch isn't damaged. If the mains fuses are blown, replace them.
