My Dan-Mig died
My old Dan-mig mig welder died on me today in mid bead. Nothing
lights up, but the fuses are ok. I ll try to trouble shoot it. Not even a pilot light. Sigh..damnit. ****. ****. **** Sob. It's better to be a red person in a blue state than a blue person in a red state. As a red person, if your blue neighbors turn into a mob at least you have a gun to protect yourself. As a blue person, your only hope is to appease the red mob with herbal tea and marinated tofu. (Phil Garding) |

I can't remember whether that's a small unit or not but if it is it may have
just hit the duty cycle limit and shut down. If so it'll work fine the next time you turn it on. Best Regards, Keith Marshall "I'm not grown up enough to be so old!" "Gunner" wrote in message ...

(Phil Garding) I assume it has rectifiers, you might have blown them, you can check them with an ohm meter. You should have continuity in one direction and close to open the other. If its shorted its bad if its open both directions its bad. If you can't find a direct replacement check out some high power diode modules, you can find many of them at surplus or discount places. |

I found the problem this morning (BIG sigh of relief). A wire had come loose from the secondary side of the control transformer and was dangling loose. It took a mirror to find it and put it back..its a bit tight in there. While I was in there, I tightened up every screw I could find.
