MTS211Si not feeding wire

Just curious, so I can help figure this out and ...have you hit the fan with a hair dryer or anything to warm it up quickly to see if it helps?

Yes, it was a small portable electric heater, and it does help. That's how I'd get it to work when it was cold out.

Might be just the fan then, and tolerance issues.

My Power MTS 211Si was built a couple months ago... when it gets colder, I'll report back here to see if it's an issue with my machine or not.

I may have to add a little propane or wood burning stove in the base of my welding cart, LOL!

I agree with previous posts - I used to live in North Dakota, and have had to weld on many -30*F (or colder) days. This is clearly one way in which technology is NOT helping us progress. Having a welder that "is impossible to market to cold environment customers" will kill 30%-50% of your potential customer base. The Alaska Pipeline would have NEVER been built.
