Weller Welding Tools - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

There is a bimetalic strip and a magnet that can get stuck in the closed position. Tapping the iron on the end of the bit can release it otherwise a new element will be required.

Question edited for clarity.

You can replace the battery with other new batteries, that way, you can tell whether it is the rechargeable batteries or the iron that are faulty.

Just press UP/DOWN at the same time quickly. If you hold them down you will get to the menu but just pressing them and releasing them will turn the station back on.

Hi, I'm not sure the tip is defective. Check that the tip is screwed in tight. If it is not good and tight the tip will not get a good heat transfer from the solder wand. Hope this helps. If the wand will heat then the tip should.

Sounds like main transformer is bad or bad connection. Unplug it and take it apart and check for loose connections. Good luck.

If element still heats up then only the bulb needs to be replaced. "https://www.6ya.com/philip_b05beb373d913f26"

The problem is very likely to be a burn-out heating element in your soldering iron: it will now be open-circuit and you can verify this by using a multimeter on the resistance measuring range.
Hope it helps.

I am looking at my Weller Portasol P-1k unit right now. They use standard flints. Go to almost ANY store you can think of and they sell lighter fluid and flints (usually sold in a pack of 5). About a buck or two.

I am assuming that you installed a new tip. Note, the tip ends have to be 3/8 of an inch 90 degree bend so that when you insert the tip leads into the barrels, they go into the small holes in the barrels. Also note, the nuts to tighten the tip into the gun have to be installed onto the tip leads before bending the leads. Now when the tip is installed this way, the nuts tighten and hold the tip in the barrel. This tightening of the nuts allow the tip to have a good electrical connection to the barrels and this is what allows the tip to heat. You actually have an electrical current that passes through the barrels and the tip. It is a very low voltage (around 2) but a very high current. Over time the tip will not heat, this is a sign to either tighten the nuts, or look at the tip to see if it has a break in it. If it has an open, then it is time to change the tip.

nice to know what is wrong with it

The first position is 100 watts, all the way back is 140 watts.

Hi there,

Due to the lack of detail provided, there are certain assumptions that must be made. These assumptions may or may not address the specifics of your problem as described. Please don't take anything I state in a derogatory way.

Standard operations.
These devices use very little fuel, with a single charge lasting about two hours.
After they are warmed up, the only visible evidence they are functioning is the dim red glow at the vents behind the tip.

Firing it up.
I'm assuming it has fuel in it.
When you try to fire it up, I'm assuming it is turned on and you can hear fuel being released.

The Super-pro models have a built-in igniter, otherwise using a lighter or a spark, ignite the gas at the vents behind the tip

A yellow flame can appear for a few moments until the unit heats up. It will quickly subside to a smoldering red glow.

It will take a few minutes for the tip to become hot enough to use.

That is about it,

Best regards

Mike

I have the same soldering iron and have found for this problem, the replaceable tip has worn out.All you need to do is buy a replaceable tip of your choice. The tips are a consumable part that wears out.

Yes, 9 times out of 10 its' the thermal coupler.

If this is the dual trigger Weller gun and your tips are held in place by either set screws or by locking nuts, Just loosen both of the parts that are holding the tip to the gun and then retighten them back up. Soldering iron tips that appear to be tight might not be and this will insure that the tip is indeed tight and also cleans up the connection of the tip to the soldering iron. Oxidation from heating and cooling will cause a tip to not get very hot. Loosen the tip holder and then retighten it. Hope this gets you going again. Dennis
