The gas will continue to flow for about a minute, then I can hear a solenoid click inside the welder and the gas stops. Occasionally the same happens with the wire feed. Is this a problem with the trigger or a sticky solenoid?
Hi:The solenoid valve gets the current once the switch is activated (pressed) therefore my opinion is that you have a sticky trigger. or one of the terminals of the cables it's shorting out.Change the trigger or better yet check that the terminals are clear and not touching other parts of the handle.
Code help-3 Indicates that the gun trigger was pulled and held during power up. Release gun trigger and clear fault condition. Also, this display can Indicate no open circuit voltage detected when gun trigger is pulled and no arc detected within 3 seconds, this means that the trigger was held without any metal contact. The machine will shut down in order to avoit the wire to continue to run freely.
To fix:
Turn on the machine without pressing the trigger on the gun. Then increase to the max the wire speed. Then turn off the machine. Press the trigger after the machine was turn off, then without releasing the trigger, turn on the machine and release the trigger after 2 seconds. That will take care of it.
