Weller sells, through distributors, replacement parts. I suggest that
you replace the temp-sensing tip element, as a start.

Last night I powered it up in preparation for soldering some connectors, and a few minutes later I saw that the tip and metal shaft of the iron were glowing red-hot. Any ideas as to what is causing this, and will it be cheap to fix? Are there any checks I can do to diagnose the problem? Or should I just dump the thing and buy a new one? I bought the station over 11 years ago, in practically new condition, at a yard sale for $5, so I got my money out of it, but if a reliable fix is cheaper than purchasing a new soldering setup I'd rather go that route. Thanks! -Josh, AE6IQ |
