We have a machine at work that keeps flashing this code number. It tends to weld fine after shutting it off and turning it back on, but at seemingly random intervals it goes dead and flashes Err 4213 on the digital read outs. Does anyone know what the problem is? My gut feeling is that the circuit board is fried, but don't quote me on that.

Thank you.

Weak input.
Your poor machine just aint gittin enuff juice to keep'r goin....
Seriously, Had a similar problem...don't remember the exact code, BUT...Get this (3 phase), we killed the power to the plug, took some "Brasso", wire tooth brushes, and Q-tips. Cleaned the contacts (recpticle and reciever/male and female) until GrandMa would've eatin' off of them, and VOILA!!!! PROBLEM SOLVED.
When the truck won't start, clean the battery cables...............

I can't find that error code in any service books. Are you sure it's not just 2 numbers? Without taking any wild guesses your machine may be over heating and shutting down on thermal overload. Are the fans clear? Have you blown out the machine lately? Look close again at the error code. Here are the codes, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 37, 39, 43, 44, 47.

As I recall, the company that I'm working for had that same issue. The number isn't in the codebook. I'll verify the displayed number when I'm back to work after the holidays (back to work on the fourth)

It could very well be that the machine isn't getting enough juice, I never even thought of that. When it's working, it runs like a dream.
