I have the same problem, except it's intermittent. AND, you can bet that I'm gonna follow your example checking it out. Thank You!! JD

Good troubleshooting. I think for some people, it is just something we have to do. We have to find the problem. I will definitely remember this. Thanks Billy Albq. N.M. 4/ 6/ 2024

I've got a Millermatic 210 and haven't had this problem but if I do I can thank you for the diagnostic video and should be able to fix it. Thanks for your video.

thank you, that was the same thing wrong with my welder, you are jem.

Glad you were able to get this figured out. I hate not knowing the source of an issue, especially when it all appears to be working right based on testing... Stay warm!

Well done for persevering. That kind of thinking saves money and gives you a better result than throwing parts at it.

Same thing happened on my 2007 millermatic 180 yesterday, thanks! Very helpful

Just picked up a welder at the flea market for $20 bucks today because it constantly feeds. Ordered a new button as this one was broke. If the button isnt the problem I know what to check next. Thank you, much appreciated! Btw, you got yourself a new subscriber!

Thanks your post on youtube helped me fix my cheep welder

That class was well worth the time TY

Great video thanks for help with my welder

Just got my millermatic 175 230v Its an old welder from my brother im hoping it doesnt have that problem yet...but just in case it does ...i would know where to check first ..and thanks for sharing....😊 very informative👍👍👍

Great video and trouble solving 😊

Thank you

Nice video thanks!

Nice detective work. I follow your analytical approach, but one thing I was wondering is if your welder is AC or DC? (I don't have a MIG here, just TIG and stick). AC run through one of two parallel conductors will induce a current in the second one... it's how transformers work (the "coil" is just linear instead of wound). I used to work in communications, and faulty shielding caused many problems that would never show up in simple DC tests. Still, glad you convinced yourself buying that lineset was not a wasteful expenditure, and are able to get back to your tasks. Spring has quite sprung here in Texas... Oaks are budding, fruit trees blooming, native wildflowers blooming, patches of clover nearly knee high.We are considerably further South of you, but it'll get there eventually!

I realize this is an older video. However, I can't understand how once you press the button it constantly feeds. I guess when you press that button, the broken shield wire mess wires somehow contacts the button wires at that end constantly than. Other than that, I can't see how a partially broken shield mesh could cause such a malfunction. When you taped over the shield mesh, you kept it from making contact with the button wires there... The broken shield wires had to be piercing the button wires. No other way it could make it feed constantly. The voltage coming through that entire weld length whip/torch wire is no more than about 30 volts or less. Not high enough to transfer via high voltage...

Thank you so very much

I’m having the same problem with a brand new Blue Demon 200 MSTI

Thank you for the video its helpful saved me. And I was born 1984 so considered a millennial. I did have to use an app. An app called KZfaq damm what a shame huh

I have this issue with my onnipro 220. But ONLY when I run off my generator(12,000 peak using the 50amp outlet - plenty big) it will weld for about a second, then stops and just feeds out like 2 feet of wire. And same with stick; it only welds about a second or 2 at best. Works great off my shop outlet. I’m at a lose.

Have the same problem at work. Gun gets super hot. It’s super frustrating they sent it out the wire will come out and feed by it self and then when you hit the trigger nothing happens.

All gun come with another set of cables for your trigger

When your wire kept feeding how much would come out? I'm having a similar problem but its only about 3/4 to 1" of wire everytime I make an arc.

Have tore my welder apart and still cant figure out why it continuously feeds. I'm getting really aggravated with this thing!

I have similar, but not the same, problem.. MIG welder, I release the trigger, it continues to feed until I "pull away" from what I'm welding, but it will stop on its' own. Any thoughts?

I wish u showed how you got to those wires that were the problem I cant get the hard plastic peice down enough to even look at those wires where the shielding wire was in your video.?!

My Miller 172 welded I put it away came today the very next day and now it wont feed the wire! Super upset almost done with a project. Do you have any ideas what I can do?

Encountered a no feed situation in manual mode on a new multimatic 255 today with stock gun, feeds ok in autoset mode. Frustrating!

Mines just different i guess yours was just a rubber peice that you slid down damn. Milermatic 212 now same issue

that is NOT SHIELDING,,,,,, that is the conductor that carries power to the torch and contact tip ,,,,, it becomes HOT when you pull the trigger via the contactor inside the machine, it carries all the current for welding. and yes if part if that conductor is fraid and pulled away from the torch as in your case,,,, you are limited on how much power you can send to the torch,, the shielding gas hose goes right up the middle of that conductor that is fraid,, and yes it means you need a new torch unless you are are very industrious little raskel and decide to fix it your self,,,,, which can be done.

That isn't shielding. That is THE power cable.

Had the same issue mine was dirt in the trigger took it apart cleaned it

A Millennial would have needed an app to fix it. Lol

Try cleaning your TIP

My welder won't feed wire. Just a click and nothing moves
