BEST soldering iron not getting hot

Post by krbolson »

Hello,

For my order# 2784652-0701569892 on 14-Feb-2022, the soldering iron:
"Adjustable 60W Pen-Style Soldering Iron - 120VAC USA Plug - BEST 102C"
(PID 3685) appears to be defective. The lights and button seem to work,
cycling through the 5 temp LED indicators, but the iron refuses to get hot,
or even a little warm. There is no sign of physical damage.

I have checked the tech references, and find no help.
Is there anything I can check this end, or must it be returned or exchanged?

good day --krb

Have you tried removing the tip and re-tightening it? Then select 400C for the heating temperature and see if the tip gets hot.
