Re: lincoln electric ac/dc arc welder will not arc
Check the dial indicator. Sometimes if someone changes the amps while welding, there will be a break in the coil. It will work at a different setting as long as you are away from the break.

Q: What Type Of Stick Welder Works Best For All-Around Use?
A: A welder with an AC/DC output, whether its an electric arc machine like Miller\'s Thunderbolt or a gas engine drive like Miller\'s Bobcat.
DC welding offers advantages over AC for most Stick applications, including: easier starts; fewer arc outages and sticking; less spatter/better looking welds; easier vertical up and overhead welding; easier to learn "how to weld" and a smoother arc. DC reverse polarity (electrode positive) provides about 10 percent more penetration at a given amperage than AC, while DC straight polarity (electrode negative) welds thinner metals better.
Q: Does An AC Output Have Any Advantages?
A: Yes, if you need to weld on material that\'s become magnetized from friction, such as when hay, feed or water constantly rub against a steel part. A DC output won\'t work because of "arc blow," where the magnetic field blows the molten filler metal out of the weld puddle. Because an AC output alternates between polarities, it enables you to weld magnetized parts.
Fan Motor MOTOR 2910.0 230.0 AC Here is a Picture of the wiring Diagram that should be on the inside of the rear cover If this is hard to read Here is a link to the original
The fan motor has probably burnt out, i see this alot...make sure the connections are good....you can try putting 120v to it directly, if it doesnt run you need a new one...if it does then you need to check all your connections
