Weller tcp 1iron overheating
There is a bimetalic strip and a magnet that can get stuck in the closed position.
Tapping the iron on the end of the bit can release it otherwise a new element will be required.

Just press UP/DOWN at the same time quickly. If you hold them down you will get to the menu but just pressing them and releasing them will turn the station back on.
I have a Weller 1002B soldering station. Haven't
Hi, I'm not sure the tip is defective. Check that the tip is screwed in tight. If it is not good and tight the tip will not get a good heat transfer from the solder wand. Hope this helps. If the wand will heat then the tip should.
Soldering iron doesn't heat up.
The problem is very likely to be a burn-out heating element in your soldering iron: it will now be open-circuit and you can verify this by using a multimeter on the resistance measuring range.
Hope it helps.
It will not heat up, maybe tip needs to be
I am assuming that you installed a new tip. Note, the tip ends have to be 3/8 of an inch 90 degree bend so that when you insert the tip leads into the barrels, they go into the small holes in the barrels. Also note, the nuts to tighten the tip into the gun have to be installed onto the tip leads before bending the leads. Now when the tip is installed this way, the nuts tighten and hold the tip in the barrel. This tightening of the nuts allow the tip to have a good electrical connection to the barrels and this is what allows the tip to heat. You actually have an electrical current that passes through the barrels and the tip. It is a very low voltage (around 2) but a very high current. Over time the tip will not heat, this is a sign to either tighten the nuts, or look at the tip to see if it has a break in it. If it has an open, then it is time to change the tip.
Portasol does not fire up
Hi there,
Due to the lack of detail provided, there are certain assumptions that must be made. These assumptions may or may not address the specifics of your problem as described. Please don't take anything I state in a derogatory way.
Standard operations.
These devices use very little fuel, with a single charge lasting about two hours.
After they are warmed up, the only visible evidence they are functioning is the dim red glow at the vents behind the tip.
Firing it up.
I'm assuming it has fuel in it.
When you try to fire it up, I'm assuming it is turned on and you can hear fuel being released.
The Super-pro models have a built-in igniter, otherwise using a lighter or a spark, ignite the gas at the vents behind the tip
A yellow flame can appear for a few moments until the unit heats up. It will quickly subside to a smoldering red glow.
It will take a few minutes for the tip to become hot enough to use.
That is about it,
Best regards
Mike

I have the same soldering iron and have found for this problem, the replaceable tip has worn out.All you need to do is buy a replaceable tip of your choice. The tips are a consumable part that wears out.
