Hi everyone.
I wonder if anyone can help. My Clarke 210TE Arc welder has a bit of an issue. It was welding fine yesterday until the thermal overload tripped and it has never come back to life, even a day later. I have tried removing the sensor from the circuit by joining the two wires but the thermal overload light stays on and there is still no spark, although the cooling fan runs (so no change from when the sensor is left in). If I break the circuit at the sensor, everything goes off.
I talked through the problem with someone at the Clarke Service Desk but we couldn't work out what is going on. He suggested that it was the main switch, although that looks fine on the surface. I'll take a multimeter to it when I get chance but I don't really know what I'm looking for. It has a 240/415V main switch and a separate warning light (I'm using it on 240V). Any ideas?
Cheers,
Joe
