Everlast 256d issues

admin

I bought a used Everlast 256d, used it for about 3 days and it just quit working, I was plasma cutting when it just stopped producing arc, I’ve looked the boards over and don’t see anything obviously burned out, I’ve also adjusted the points and am getting the arcing across the points. Machine turns on and control panel functions just nothing happens when I pull the plasma trigger or use the foot pedal on the tig, model has a sticker on the side that says qc 2015. I’ve called tech support and they stated I need to just send it in but I don’t want to put more money than what the machine is worth new into it. Help please thanks.

Reply:Yes it won’t scratch start tig either
Reply:Sounds like the control board.  You could order one and risk it or as they said, send it in for repair.  Depends on how much you paid for it.  Probably looking at 650 or so at least with parts.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
