A few months ago I got my Sunkko 709A spot welder from AliExpress, and it has worked fine- until now. I have only welded a few batteries with it, and suddenly I hear some funny sounds inside the welder. The sound reminded me of something short circuiting, but it lasted a few seconds. I turned the welder off immediately, and tried to turn it on some minutes later. It turned on, and the sound came back. Next time I turned it on, it tripped the circuit breaker.
I have not opened it yet, because I'm waiting for the suppliers answer about the "1 year warranty", and don't want to break the warranty seal. But I don't know the chances that's going to work out...
So, does this sound like a familiar problem? I've read about triacs that stop working, and PCBs going bad. If I don't hear from the supplier I will open it and post some pictures here...
I am grateful for all suggestions and help!
