SOURCE: hobart handler 140 will not feed wire

A schematic would certainly help, give Hobart a call and ask for a wiring diagram. or manual. Hobart are very helpful and may even give you guidance, you may have to pay the postage, they usually fax these documents so it will not cost you anything.

I have a 120 and when that happened to it the bridge rectifier was bad on it. Not sure if your 140 has that or not but just something to look into. It only cost me about 8 or 10 bucks to fix mine.

You need to look at the wiring diagram to see what parts could be causing the problem. I had a 120 that did the same thing and it was the bridge rectifier that was bad. I unhooked my motor and hooked it to my battery charger to see if it was good.Hope this helps. I will see if I can find a diagram to look at and check back later to see if you have fixed the problem.

Hobart handler 135, the wire starts to feed for about 15 seconds then slows and stops.

Hi:
Don't know how old is your unit but my guess is that your gun's liner is the problem. Have you change it lately? If not, change it. Does your machine just stops feeding the wire or does it shuts down? If it just stop then; is the liner, if it shuts down; then you have a pc board problem.

I have a hobart 135 handler that with machine plugged in and turned on the wire has constant juice and the gas cylonoid is flowing gas from the bottle without the trigger being pressed. my dealer said it...

Hi:
Have you disconnect the gun's power plug? If the wire and gas stop flowing by doing this action, then your problem is the gun's trigger. If the machine continues to feed gas and wire with the gun disconnected then yes, it is the pc board.
Good luck.

I purchased a used Hobart Handler 140 and I think it might have a problem. No matter what Amperage setting and wire speed I can't get any penetration. I am using .30 flux core wire, no shielding gas....

Hi there,
Sounds like you liner may be bad.There is a plastic tube that the wire travels through to the gun.The teeth marks from the feed wheel acts like a saw and can cause a short.Then the liner carry's part of the voltage.Look for a blue color on the liner. Here is a video that shows how to change a Hobart liner .You may want to multi test first for contanity with the power off.

Thank You for choosing FixYa.com.

I HAVE A HANDLER 140 I PURCHASED NEW RECENTLY, THE WELDER FEEDS WELL BUT THE WELD WIRE ONCE APPLIED IS NOTHING BUT **** AND FALLS OFF THE METAL WHEN STRUCK WITH A HAMMER. i AM USING SOLID WIRE AND THE...

Newer welders as hobart and miller are set up from factory to use innershield wire therefore polarity is set up as inverse. Check inside your machine and check that ground cable is on negative side. Your gas must be mix argon/CO2 or pure CO2 (not recommended).
Other potential problem is wire not being a mild steel one. Check you have gas flow out of your nozzle.
That's all I can think of.

Welding aluminum and wire keepscoming out of rollers

your hobart machine it's not suit up for standard aluminum welding, the lenght of the gun it's too long therefore the wire will nest at the drive rolls. You need to buy a spool gun. Or change gun liner for a teflon one (instead of metal one), then change the drive roll for knurled ones and finally oversize your tip if you can. No need to do ALL this if you buy a spool gun.

I have a hobart 135 welder that is not working right. The gas keeps running when your not welding. When you plug it in it sounds like something is running inside without it being turned on. Do you know...

This sounds like the gas solinoid, first, check the gas flow, this should be 12 - 15 ltr per min: if thegas flow is to high it will hold the solinoid vale open. you can reduce the gas flow to a minimum, then check to see if the solinoid closes and opens, if not the iether the voltage to the solinoid is too low or the solinoid plunger is damage, replase the solinoid. lets know .

Handler 140 wire jerky when welding

make sure rollers are clean and slots not wore out check alignment
do not over tighten wire feed so it smashes the wire
flux wire is hard to get a good setting
make sure if you can set it for gas welding it is not on this setting

My hobart 135 will not feed wire. I checked for voltage at the drive motor no voltage. The gas still comes on when trigger is pulled but seems that the problem is in the control board?

does it have a reset button? if so it has gone bad, if not there is a fuse or something inside. they protect that circuit against shorting at the working end of the gun. happens ALL the time.

HOBART HANDLER 135 GAS WILL NOT SHUT OFF

It doesn't take much to jamb the solinoid , too much presure on the argon will hold this open, turn the gas off, purge the line, release the pressure on the regulator, Now turn the gas on and put approximatley 2-3lbs only on the gauge, turn the flow meter for a reading of 15-20ltr/min, then try again,
