Make sure you have a good ground! You can't put it on a painted surface! Hope this helps.

This welder has a low duty cycle (20% if I remember well), are you sure you did not exceed the percentage of use per hour?... just an idea, I hope you did not burn it.

My works fine but I just had to replace my ground fault outlet.Not sure if it blew from the tank heater,fence charger on age.Check the outlet.If not that perhaps you received defective ones

It sounds like it is shorting out, check all the wires to make sure the coating is not have a hole to exposes the bear wire. You can try 1 size larger fuse, if that don't work I think you have a defective jack !

I would first check all of your consumables. It is a scratch start so no gap. If it won't arc it may be the unit. Not a big deal. I had that and returned it got a new one and have cut everything with great results.

Mine burnt up or froze on the first test when used with an ac induction motor on a dust collector. The collector required a dedicated 15 A breaker. I thought the Additional 25 A rating would be plenty. I had to buy a crydom brand to get it to work. You are either looking for a relay that will handle a resistive load like a heater or an inductive load like a ac motor. This is not the relay for a motor.

1st You need to make sure the power SOURCE, &/or the PSU itself is not corrupt. Move to another known good AC outlet, disconnect all the cables from the motherboard & plug the PSU directly to the AC outlet with a known good power cable & verify that the fan powers on. (The unit still could be defective, but at least you'll know if it powers on). Plug everything back into the motherboard making sure you have the power connector "clicked" into place & that you confirm 20 or 24 pin connector. try it again. If it doesn't work, you likely have a few blown components on the motherboard.

Did you turn it on using the nob in the from first. Try that first. If not, check your outlet and try plug to another outlet. And if thats not the case you have to send it back for a new one. I hope thats kind of helpful.

Yes, exact same problem on two fans. Had first one die first week, then a second one after a couple months. If you reverse the direction, the fans turn off for a few seconds, then reverse. If you adjust the speed without waiting for the fans to kick back on, something goes haywire, and it fries the fuse immediately. If you replace the fuse, the fan continues to run, won't turn off or respond to controls, and the fuse blows again. Their warranty service cannot replace the fan, because "They don't have stock"... "Call back in 4 months". If you have one of these fans, give the fan time between changing direction and changing speed. Both fans died in exactly the same way. The fan is great until it fries.

My unit completely burned out and no longer works at all. I used it to carve granite with diamond bits, It is not meant for heavy duty use

Mine worked fine approximately 2 years until a couple weeks ago when it started up and caught itself on fire. Could have burn't my shop down if I hadn't been there. There were wires rubbing inside the motor part of the compressor that started the melt down and fire. I told California Air about it and all they did was over to sell me replacement parts for $350.00. I no longer own a California Air Compressor.

The ARC-14SH uses a heat pump (reverse air conditioning) for heating and may not be able to heat temperature is below 41F. If the outside temperature is at or below 40F, you may try removing the intake hose and capping it so the unit will work with the air that is inside of the room. Please note that in heat mode the rear fan will start first, followed by the compressor then air output fan into the room. It may take several minutes for the unit to start blowing air into the room. Also, note that turning the unit off and on or switching between modes may cause the compressor to lock. If this happens, please turn off the unit for a few minutes to reset. Please feel free to contact us at customer.service@whynter.com.

You can try and replace the fuse, the little glass tube. Same thing happened to ours. Hope that helps

If there is absolutely nothing on the panel, the problem may be the 20 amp main fuse. We never had a problem with the fuse, only with the control panel. These panels are extremely sensitive to steam from the cooktop below, however they show the SE error or act in weird fashion if its the control panel. If it is the main fuse, you may also have to replace the door interlock relay. You can check the fuse (unplug the M/W first).

Your best bet would be not to waste your time trying to repair it; replace it. I had nothing but trouble with this unit. Samsung and I sent it back and forth about a half dozen times, in and out of warranty. They always claimed it was fixed; it wasn't. The fan finally conked out on it and capacitors exploded, arced, and flamed. We're lucky the thing didn't start a major fire. Do yourself a huge favor and junk it.

My system shut off after a couple months of being installed as well (240v). I removed canister and electrodes appeared to have a lot of buildup, so I made a little brass brush on a handle that I could get inside and clean the elements. after doing this several times and rinsing (water came out rust colour), I replaced and it is working fine. Will wait and see how long this one lasts. I clamped it and was only pulling about 2-3 amps initially, but after a couple days it is now up to 10-11 amps per leg.

No this unit can not weld aluminum it is a DC Inverter unit only. It runs on ac power from the wall outlet but the inverter converts it to DC for arc welding. Hope this answer helps.

Make sure the fan is not blocked with dust and is working, Mine works fine after I removed the plug on the end and wired it directly to the outlet. I went through 3 of these in 6 months but removed the plug and it works like a champ.
