Weller provides repair service (warranty and non-warranty) for their products. I use this service for Calibration of Weller WCM1 as well as Weller repairs, when parts are unavailable (and Weller repair service is cheaper than eBay parts).

Hello i have 2 Weller Pyropens’s and I cannot get them to light . I live in Venezuela but I purchased these in Australia. They invaluable tools so I wanted to know what cost is involved in getting them repaired . I also have 2 weller controlled output soldering irons
the power units are fine I just need the iron with cable on one as it was stolen and the other I have no tip left and cannot get the old tip out because of corrosion.
John,
Best step in North America is to contact Weller Repairs in Apex, NC.

Hello, I purchased a Weller soldering iron 3 weeks ago from Fry’s electronics. It no longer heat but the lights come on. I threw away the receipt because I figured I would not have a problem with the product. Will Weller still cover repair or replacement? Thank you.
Jason,
Work with Fry’s to resolve.
IF you paid with Credit or Debit Card … those records are good for Fry’s resolution.

Weller Repair in Apex, NC would require receipt for Warranty Service, otherwise you pay $ for repairs.
I purchased a Weller WE1010NA and it stopped heating in the middle of using it. I have replaced the tip, swapped out the power cord, left it unplugged overnight, tried holding down buttons to reset it, and checked the connector to the iron. Nothing has worked and it won’t heat past about 90-110F. I have adjusted every setting possible. I have my receipt and it was purchased in Feb 2019. Please can someone contact me about getting this warranty item resolved? I registered it with Weller when I purchased it using the instructions on the warranty card that came in the box, but the Weller website is absolutely useless. Every time I try to send a message, it just gives an error. It says “register your product and get access to support, warranty….” but nowhere on the website will it let you submit any warranty information. I’m frustrated and needed to use this ASAP and have always trusted Weller and bragged about how much better they are. Please help?

Hi, I have a Weller WES51 soldering station that has quit working (the magnet pencil has no effect), do you still repair them? If so how much?
Thanks Ernie
Ernie –
I do not repair the Weller WES51 or WESD51 solder stations (current production).
I can not match the current Weller Repair prices & part availability.
Weller North American Repair Facility is located in Apex, NC.

PES51 Handpiece repair is $25 (new PES51 are $35-$40 retail)
IF your base unit, WES51PU is bad that is $35 (new control board and/or transformer).

The power switch in my W-TCP-L has broken. Flipping it on was like sticking a finger in a socket. Opening up the base shows the switch is soldered to the wires, which begs the question, how does one solder on a new switch without a soldering iron?
Weller used the Leviton 90572 rotary canopy switch (used in lighting, lamps)
https://www.leviton.com/en/products/90572
for the PU-1 power base on the WTCPL soldering station.
That switch is wired with small electrical wire nuts (no soldering).

NEEDED REPLACEMENT METAL PINS USED IN TC217 CORD PART NUMBER
Weller does not sell individual pins for their hand-made 3-pin connector used on the Weller TC-201 irons since 1981.

Weller did sell a repair kit for a number of years., part number: PL120
However, new owner/management withdrew from Retail Sales in 2019.
**You might find a distributor, that still has stock. Many have been selling via eBay or Clearance sales in past 18 months.**
https://www.newark.com/weller/pl120/replacement-plug-receptacle/dp/52F5674
I don’t have that PL120 in stock. Instructions here:
https://bama.edebris.com/download/weller/tcpseriesplugwiring/Weller_TCP_Series_Plug_Jack.pdf
You could buy the TC217 replacement cord, BUT you will need to build extractor tool (for pin removal in handle). White and Green wires from old cord have to be removed (old cord).

I have a Weller EC2001 ESD. When switched on, the light comes on and you can hear a slight hum to it but no heat is transmitted through to the soldering tip. Any ideas or does this unit need to be sent in?
Todd –
FIRST, check your Soldering Iron (EC-1201, hand piece) is Functional.
The plug-in heater (EC-234) could have failed. That part readily available with new BA-60 barrel nut.
Contact Weller USA in Apex, NC …
IF you desire to send in for repairs.

I have a WESD51 unit with about 75 hours use on it. I take care of my tools, so it wasn’t dropped or thrown into tool bag, etc. I was using it at 700 deg F (typical) when after about 20 minutes the LED’s went dark and the unit wouldn’t heat. I checked all the troubleshooting tips from owners’ manual: AC power, switch continuity, good fuse on pcb, 21.8 Ohm across power blades on power cord with switch ‘on’, 11.8 ohm across pins 2+6 on tool, 3 Ohm on pins 3+4 of tool, >1MegOhm from pins 3+2, and 3+6 (all tests performed with Fluke 87 meter). Can’t figure it out….thanks for any help….
The Weller WESD51 is a current production station by Weller.
It sounds like you have performed resistance checks on the BASE Unit.

In my experience (46 years with Weller),
the Handpiece Heater is the Most Common component that fails.
Since RoHS (2003), competition from Asia (Hakko, Metcal/OKI), and
cheap Asian “clones/knock-offs”, Weller integrated hand pieces (irons).
The Weller PES51 soldering iron is the handpiece for the WESD51 station.
Weller sells these replacement irons for ~$40 each either directly OR via distributors.
==
You CAN Contact Weller USA in Apex, NC …
to have their repair/service department examine (troubleshoot) the station.
Their “repair charge” for the PES51 (2016) was $25 (likely higher today).
