Hijacking (the taking over of someone elses thread) is not allowed on AAC, the thread belongs to the OP (original poster). Plus, the thread was over 4 years gone, which is necromancy. Now you have a thread of your very own.
This split from Weller WES51 just died.
I have the exact same issue as you, Frenchie. It started working for a bit, but for the last few months it went back to only working at above 75 (750F). Anything lower and it goes completely cold. It's not a lockout or calibration issue, as I've tried resetting the unit to factory defaults, as per user manual instructions.
Sorry for digging this thread up from the grave. This thread comes first when Googling for the problem, so may be of use to others having problems with the Weller iron.
