        Dear guys, I am annoyed cause my Lincoln PowerMIG 260 fan grinds loud at 24 volts, And it struggles. Is there any solution?

          Grinding fan is likely bad bearings. Check motor for wear, And clean vents with compressed air. my fan quieted down after that. Lube bearings, And replace if it is bad.

            Swap to a new fan motor, It is more reliable.

              Check fan alignment, My Lincoln fan runs smooth after adjusting mounting.

                Clean vents regular, My welder stopped grinding with compressed air.
