Like the title says, when I release the foot pedal, sometime the arc will not stop completely, I mean the amp goes down but, still get an arc.

Last night, I was welding and it happen again, Now there is a hissing sound inside the welder, tought it was

a gas leak but, when I look inside the welder at the front, I can see an arc ( I think it called spark gap).

Now, as soon as I turn on the welder, the arc is on, I turn it off after one or two seconds.

I really need my welder to finish a job I was working on.

My welder is only a couple months old, maybe 5 or 6 months and have maybe 25 hours of welding time with it.

Is there anything I can do to fix it.

Thanks for your time.

On the welding forum, they prefer to argue about a ####ing 2T/4T function that does not exist instead of helping me trying to find a solution to my problem
