950715 - ESAB 15k Ohm 2 Watt Linear Potentiometer Repair Part

Restore Precision Control to Your ESAB Welder

Is your welding machine's wire speed drifting? Do you find dead spots in your voltage dial where the machine just doesn't respond? Often, the culprit is a worn-out potentiometer. The ESAB 950715 is the genuine OEM replacement part designed to get your machine back to factory performance. Over time, the internal tracks of a potentiometer can wear down from constant adjustment, or get coated in shop dust, leading to erratic output and frustrating weld defects. Replacing the pot is a cost-effective maintenance step that can save you from misdiagnosing more expensive board failures.

This 15k Ohm linear potentiometer is built tough for the welding environment. With a 2-watt power rating, it is heavier duty than standard electronics parts, designed to withstand the heat and duty cycles of a busy shop. The 'linear' aspect means that when you turn the knob halfway, you get exactly half the resistance—giving you smooth, predictable control over your arc. Whether you are adjusting wire feed speed on a Migmaster or dialing in voltage on a power source, this part ensures that what you set on the panel is exactly what the machine delivers to the torch.

Installation is straightforward for those comfortable with basic machine repair. The 0.88-inch shaft is the correct length for your original knobs, ensuring a clean, professional look after the repair. Don't settle for generic parts from an electronics bin that might not fit your panel or handle the current; use the part engineered by ESAB for your specific equipment. Keeping your controls responsive is key to producing consistent, high-quality welds, and this replacement potentiometer is the link between your hand and the machine's power.
