SOURCE: Weller model 550PK heavy-duty soldering gun is slow to heat up

It depends on what you say is slow, I have used weller soldering guns and desoldering guns for about 30 years. They come up to top heat in about 3min. If it is taking longer than that then there is a problem with the heating unit. You can call weller tech help number, should be on iron base and they can tell you how to test the heat unit.

SOURCE: Weller 8200 100/140W replacement light bulb?

The bulb's part number is 7333. You can order a replacement bulb here for about $2.50 :http://www.e-sonic.com/aboutus/cat/S/soldering%206.pdf

Testimonial: "Thank you. Bulb voltage is actually whay I was looking for but I did not specifically ask for this.:-) Perhaps a 7333 bulb is a universal #."

Try tightening the screws that hold the copper element, light corrsion can develop and make a resistance.This can cause the gun to over heat.

Wont heat enough to solder

Hello, does your solder iron --Weller- humming? Also, is the solder tips the right tips for you Weller woldering gun? Are the tips tightened on the end of the solder gun prongs?

Well, if it is humming there is internal short in the windings inside of the gun. Don't mess with. Recyle it by taking the copper, brass, aluminum, and other metal out. Now, if it is not humming.
Make sure you have right tips, make sure that the tip is tightened in the soldering gun prongs.

The working principal of these soldering guns is that they work on low voltage and very high current. The current is regulated to keep the tip from burning into. Just enough current to heat the tipe to a certain temperature.. It can shock you but there not enough voltage with current but it will hurt. and could burn you. Be careful and lots of luck...GB...stewbison

Trouble with the 2 work lights

You need to open the gun case and check the connections to the bulb sockets inside. I have several of these guns and the only problem has been the occasional need to re-tighten the tip screws to break through the oxidized copper adjacent the screws. Good luck!

Lights don't go no weller d550

I cannot see by the picture if you have one or two light bulb model, but if you have the 2 bulb, then you must know that these bulbs are in series so they both must be good and they have to be 1,5 volt bulbs each or you will get a very dull light. If it is a single bulb, then you need to check the screw-in socket and check the bulb with an ohm meter or continuity tester. iF ALL TESTS OK, THEN THE PROBLEM IS INTERNAL AND YOU WILL HAVE TO OPEN THE GUN OR JUST FORGET IT. GOODLUCK, MACGIVOR.

MY WELLER SOLDERING GUN IS GETTING HOT AND A LITTLE SMOKE COMES OUT NOW AND AGAIN IS THERE ANYONE IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA WHO CAN FIX IT FOR ME AS WELLER SAY THEY DONT DO ANY REPAIRS ON THEM. CHRIS

these are not worth repairing as the main part of a soldering iron is the transformer which is what causes the tip to get so hot, so if yours is giving off smoke and excessive heat probably the transformer is starting to cook itself which means it has to be replaced. I would guess that the transformer will cost you more then a replacement soldering gun on ebay would cost. Hope This Helps Don
