Hey guys,
Today my iron just isnt working for some reason. It was working perfectly yesterday and the iron isnt even a year old and hasnt done more than 48 hours of work. its a 80w iron.

Any ideas why it doesnt work or how I can fix it?

Thanks

Heating element gone bad perhaps ? You can get replacement elements from the manufacturer.

Go to HOme depot and get an 80w Weller. Works great and gets super hot. I use this one for making battery packs.

I use 3 different Wellers 80w, 40w and 25w (I think). I have had them all for a couple years and have never had a problem with any of them.

i have a 140w craftsman only 10 bucks too.

Wellers are the best, though expensive compared no-name brands, and they have the most choice in tips. There are some other good brands but they are $300. or more. I know some people who have wellers from decades ago and they still work good as new.
