Was using it and just stopped feeding/power output. Contactor won't suck in. Nothing happens when trigger is pulled This happened suddenly. Went to replace fuse and it pops as soon as it is put in with nothing going on. It popped as soon as it was pushed into the holder. I didn't even have time to tighten it. Any ideas? Been a flawless machine up till now since 2001.Esab Migmaster 250Lincoln SA 200Lincoln Ranger 8Smith Oxy Fuel setupEverlast PowerPlasma 80Everlast Power iMIG 160Everlast Power iMIG 205 Everlast Power iMIG 140EEverlast PowerARC 300Everlast PowerARC 140STEverlast PowerTIG 255EXT
