I have a Weller 1002B soldering station. Haven't

I have a Weller 1002B soldering station. Haven't used it in a while. The iron shaft heats up, but the tip doesn't get hot. The heater numbering is a bit worn, but looks like maybe EC234. The tip in the unit is marked ETA, but I suspect that this is not an original tip. Any ideas why the tip won't heat up?

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.

I had the same problem and even though the tip was tightly screwed in, it wouldn’t get hot enough to work correctly. When I removed my t and put my original Welled tip in, I had no problems.

When i plug it in it goes to 902 degress but does not get hot and when i turn the heat down it goes up to 902

I had the same problem with mine. Try pushing or twisting the cord entering the soldering iron pencil. The temperature sensor can become disconnected if the cord gets twisted.
