Final report, it's alive! I'm not sure how much current the transformer needs to be able to handle, but the big issue was physical size on mine. I was not able to even use a 3 va transformer because it wouldn't fit on the board, it was a tight fit with the other components there. Ended up with...
Exactly. Everything on the machine went live when it was switched on. The gas solenoid was open, wire was hot, and the torch trigger activated the wire feed like it should. Reading other posts on here though I found one that said that if the power LED didn't work to suspect the transformer. Mine...
Well, fix one thing to find another bad. I installed the circuit board with the new relay, and had nothing. Fan runs, but no power LED (it didn't work before, and I was hoping it wasn't the transformer) and no wire feed or gas solenoid. Apparently with the stuck relay the 24 volts from the main...
I'm not an electronics guru, so I took it to a shop to be repaired this morning. Got a call this afternoon it was finished, so I'll try to get it put back together probably Wednesday morning (work afternoons). Crossing my fingers hoping that it's the total fix, I know it was bad but since my...
Thank you sir, I was able to confirm that the relay in mine was also 24 volt and it was marked 16 amp, so the one you listed is perfect. I have two on order now, $6.28 plus shipping US each. Beats paying $160 to have someone look at the circuit board.....
New member here from the US. I just picked up a Marquette 155 220 volt MIG welder which is made by Cebora. I'm having the issues of the gas solenoid being on whenever the machine is switched on, and the wire being hot all of the time. I suspect it's the relay on my welder also, which looks like...
