Clarke MIG 110E working one moment, dead the next.

Hi,

My MIG was working a moment ago, I had some lunch, came back and now it's totally dead. The motor doesn't turn, it won't arc and I've checked the fuse is ok and it's plugged into a working socket.

I opened it up and nothing looks blown although I've done a lot of welding today. I left it for 10 minutes in case it was the thermal cutout but still nothing.

Any suggestions of what to do next to troubleshoot this?


Thanks,

James

Try jiggling the power selector switches, you may have got one not making a good contact.

Thanks - just tried that but still nothing.

Got to elimate the easy part first, multi tester on the mains where it goes onto the internal circuit, even if the sockets working I have known a mains cable break down...rare but it happens.
