Telwin Telmig 180/2 turbo broken...?

[norwelder]

Hi all,
I just bought a used welder, Telwin 180/2 - that was really stupid maybe, but all i could afford at the moment.
Well, used it a couple of times yesterday to brace a carbody, and today i was going to practice on some 2mm just for fun. Spotwelded around 20 spots.... and then suddenly it died. No "bang", just silence.
What can be wrong?

I really cant afford to buy a new, and my project will stand still for months if im not able to get back to welding soon

Any help is very, very much appreciated.

have you checked the obvious plug, fuses, house fuse, cable to welder etc
also some welders have internal fuses as well

 

[norwelder]

Yes, i sure have, and testet other device on same circuit right away, and its working.
I will open it up and see if there are any internal fuses, thanks.

 

[norwelder]

No fuses in there At least not that i can find.

Hmmm.... is this just junk now?

 

[norwelder]

Problem solved! Little bit embarrasing to say, but it was the plug
Installed a new, and its now working again!
