• Symptoms
  • Major physical or electrical damage is evident when the sheet metal cover(s) are removed.
  • The machine is dead -- no output -- no fan -- no LEDs.
  • The main input fuses (or breaker) repeatedly fail.
  • The Power Wave has no output -- the fan is running -- a “clicking” sound may be heard coming from...
  • The fan runs slow or intermittently -- low or no weld output.
  • The thermal LED is lit. The machine regularly overheats.
  • The Auxiliary Receptacle is “dead”. The 115 VAC is missing.
  • The Power Wave 455 won’t produce full output.
  • For no apparent reason, the welding characteristics have changed.
  • The machine often “noodle welds” with a particular procedure.
  • The arc burns back to the tip.
  • The wire feeder won’t work. No lights. Apparently the wire feeder is not being powered-up.
  • LED is solid green (not blinking)
  • LED is solid red
  • LED is solid red (not blinking)
  • LED is blinking red and green
  • #11 CAN bus off (Excessive number of communication errors).
  • #12 Ul time out (Loss of communication to control box).
  • #21 Unprogrammed mode
  • #22 Empty weld table
  • #23 Weld table check sum (table is corrupt)
  • #31 Primary over current
  • #32 Capacitor “A” under voltage
  • #33 Capacitor “B” under voltage
  • #34 Capacitor “A” over voltage
  • #35 Capacitor “B” over voltage
  • #36 Thermal overload
  • #37 Machine failed soft start
  • Major physical or electrical damage is evident when the sheet metal cover(s) are removed.
  • No wire feed, solenoid or arc voltage. The STATUS LEDs are steady green.
  • No control of wire feed speed. All STATUS LEDs are steady green. The preset wire feed speed is adjustable on the Control Box.
  • No welding arc voltage when the gun trigger is activated. The wire feeds normally and the gas solenoid...
  • The wire feed speed does not change when welding current is established. The WFS stays at the run in speed. The STATUS LEDs..
  • The purge switch on the wire drive unit does not activate the gas solenoid, but gun trigger closure in the...
  • The COLD INCH/GAS PURGE switch does not turn on the wire drive motor but gun trigger closure...
  • The voltmeter on the Control Box does not function properly even though the STATUS LEDS are steady green.
  • The ammeter on the Control Box does not function properly even though the STATUS LEDs are steady green.
  • The display and/or indicator LEDs do not change when their corresponding switches and or knobs are activated or turned.
  • The mode and/or settings change while welding under normal conditions.
  • The feeder resets when the gun trigger is activated. The LEDs blink and the displays are intermittent.
  • The displays are blank (not lit). The wire feeds when the gun trigger is activated.
  • The dual procedure is not functional when using the remote Dual Prodedure switch. The STATUS...
  • The Dual Procedure is not functioning when using the local Dual Procedure switch on the Control Box. The STATUS LEDs are...
  • The wire feed speed is consistent and adjustable, but runs at the wrong speed.
  • The unit shuts off while welding or at tempting to weld. The STATUS LED is alternating between red and...
  • When the gun trigger is activated, the drive rolls do not turn. The arc voltage is present and the solenoid...
  • The wire is feeding rough or not feeding, but the drive rolls are turning.
  • When in CC modes with the optional “MX” or “MSP” panels, the output does not energize.
  • The gun tip seizes in diffuser.
  • Poor arc striking with sticking or “blast-offs”. The weld bead may be narrow and ropy with weld porosity.
  • The arc is variable and/or hunting. The power source, Control Box and drive units seem to be operating properly.
