FUNCTION PROBLEMS
The machine regularly overheats
and the yellow thermal light is ON
indicating a thermal overload.
1. Check the 3.5 amp circuit
breaker (CB2). Reset if tripped.
2. The welding application may
be exceeding the
recommended duty cycle of the
V350-Pro.
3. Dirt and dust may have clogged
the cooling channels inside the
machine.
4. Air intake and exhaust louvers
may be blocked due to inade-
quate clearance around the
machine.
5. Make certain the fan as needed
(F.A.N.) is operating properly.
The fan should operate when
welding voltage is present
and/or when there is an over
temperature condition.
1. The 115VAC fan motor is con-
trolled by the control board via
the main switch board. Perform
the Fan Motor And Control
Test.
1. A thermostat or associated cir-
cuitry may be faulty. See the
wiring diagram. One normally

diagram.
Note: The Main Switch Board
Removal Procedure will be
required to gain access to
the heat sink thermostat.

24/42VAC) for the wire feeder
being used. See the connection
diagram. If wirefeeder has DIP
switch, be sure it is set correct-
ly.
