need help with this welder
I got a Miller XMT 304 CC/CV from a guy over here in Iraq. The guy said if i can get it workign I can have it. I wired it up 3phase and the code comes up for "Thermal protection malfunction" As this unit new is about $3500 i hope to get it fixed or possibly fix it myslef. I figure even if i spend 1500 on parts for it im still up another 2000. Anyway my question is there anyone that is good with troubleshooting them or fixing them? I will be back in the states next month and hope to get it fixed soon after i get back. Im not sure it the post office will ship it in a protective container or if i will have to ship it back with my units equipment. Either way I will get it home to the states. Can anyone help?

but im an electrician but have no clue about "thermal protection" in welders. i wish i did.. but i got a few numbers of places to send it to to have it fixed.. i was hoping for a chime in of someone who may have dealt with stuff like this befor.
