How To Fix A Milwaukee Soldering Iron - Not Heating Up

I bought a broken Milwaukee soldering iron it's not heating up. I'll show you how to fix it.
I'll show how to disassemble the iron, do some checks and hopefully repair it if you have a faulty one.

For those coming to this video, the Hakko 1321 element is the wrong one. It is 24 volt and this iron needs a 12 volt element. He touched on this is some of the other Milwaukee soldering iron repair videos where he had to change the element and not just the thermal fuse. The iron was slow to heat and did not make max temp with the Hakko 1321 element. I looked on the china sites and they offer 12 volt elements for under a USD.

Nice work! Easy, inexpensive fix! And a nice piece of equipment to add to you arsenal of tools!

Mine "broke" like this too, I emailed milwaukee to ask about warranty but they couldn't tell me if it was covered or not. So I did it myself (I think I'm out of warranty anyway). Bought the parts on Amazon for sub-$15. Thank you!!!!

Made us jump... proceeds with fixing like nothing happened haha

[@paulmcgeoch2603]

Nice job mate but I’d have liked to have seen you remove the sticker with the screw underneath with some heat so it wasn’t destroyed 🙂

Whats the reistance of the heating element?

[@benwithjamin]

Hi there. I have replaced my faulty fuse, it was definitely dead.. but now all 4 red lights flash and it turns off. Any idea?

[@DerekEmerson]

Wonder why they crimp instead of soldering them

[@dionlawler5515]

go easy on that heating element, banging it around it the main reason the element fails
