Campbell Hausfeld Welding Tools - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

Overheating can cause damage to the internal components of a welder, including the wire feed motor, transformer, and electronic components. It's possible that the high setting on your Campbell Hausfeld WF2050 welder has been damaged due to the overheating. You may need to check the high setting circuitry to see if there are any visible signs of damage, such as melted wires or burnt components. If you're not familiar with electrical components, it may be best to have a qualified technician or electrician check the welder for you. Alternatively, it's also possible that the wire feed motor may have been damaged during the overheating. A damaged wire feed motor can cause the wire to feed improperly, which can affect the quality of the weld. You may need to check the wire feed motor to see if it's functioning properly. In any case, it's important to address the overheating issue to prevent further damage to your welder. Make sure that the welder is being used in a well-ventilated area and that the cooling fan is working properly. Additionally, make sure that the welder is not being overloaded by using the appropriate amperage setting for the job.

If the wire feeder is not working, it's possible that one or more of the wires you reconnected are not in the correct position or may have come loose. Double check to make sure all the wires are securely attached and in the correct order. It's also possible that the wire feeder motor itself may be faulty or damaged, especially if it was not working properly before you opened it up. You could try testing the motor with a multimeter to see if it is getting power and functioning correctly. Finally, make sure that the wire spool is loaded correctly and that the tension on the wire is set properly. If the wire is not feeding correctly, it could be due to a problem with the spool or tension.

Question edited for clarity, name of maker. Question moved to maker category. There is a wiring diagram on 12 if this is your model. They all have model numbers. https://www.campbellhausfeld.com/files/manuals/manual07/970400_1100.pdf https://www.google.com/search?q=campbell+hausfeld+mig+flux+80+wiring+diagram ..

Try these or the maker direct. you may also be able to use a liner from another make or model. Look for welding supplies near you, and take the part in. https://www.google.com/search?q=campbell+hausfeld+versa+arc+95+welder+parts ..

Check inside for a fuse, fusible link, or a small "breaker". Unplug it and let it cool down fully(overnight if possible) and then open it up and take a look!

That could be 2 things. Either the switch in feed assembly is bad or the relay inside the unit is sticking.

on amazon for sure... take a look here: Amazon com campbell hausfeld parts. I hope I have helped. Cheers

It probably has reached itsduty cycleevery welder has a duty cycle, it's usually a percent of that it can run continuously

First make sure your work area is out of the wind
Get some of the same thin metal to practice with.
Use the thinnest wire you can get. Start on the lowest
Volt setting and wire speed start welding and increase
Your wire speed till it sounds frying bacon and use
Stitch welds about ½ long wait a few seconds then lay down
The next weld start at where you left off that way the metal
Has time to cool some dial it in and practice.

try to use bare .032 wire and co2 shielded gas, If the equipment does not have a gas solenoid you may have to wire a solenoid to the trigger mechanism to get the gas to flow while the wire is feeding. The bare wire usually copper coated burns much hotter than the flux core when there is a gas shield. Also a .032 bare wire with a gas shield burns a a lower amp range and will get better penetration. You may have to experiment with the feed rate and gas flow to get the correct setting, but the bare wire has a lot less resistance to current flow than the flux core and will burn a lot hotter when you use a gas shield. At 115 vac there is not a lot of amperage left to create an arc and run the feeder and the rest of the unit , and the flux core wire takes a lot of amperage to burn both the wire and the flux . .
