M185 Fault Workflow Router

This router gives the fastest document order for the highest-value M185 complaints.

Complaint Routing

Incoming complaint	Open first	Then open	Then open if the complaint remains	Why this order works
there is no wire feed and the display also behaves badly	M185 measurement card	M185 board opening map	M185 guide	no-feed plus bad display belongs in the shared display-control branch first
the display is wrong but welding is still partly possible	M185 measurement card	M185 guide	M185 board opening map	the fastest path is to hold the weld branch steady and prove the display path first
the complaint follows a torch swap or still looks torch related	M185 parts substitution card	M185 guide	M185 job packet	torch-following faults stay external and should not escalate into display-board blame
feed is dead but the display stays stable	M185 measurement card	M185 board opening map	M185 job packet	once the display is proven healthy, the fastest branch is feed and trigger separation
display never transitions cleanly from preset to actual on a real weld	M185 measurement card	M185 board opening map	M185 guide	the preset-versus-actual split is one of the fastest ways to keep this in the display-feedback branch
starts go soft or wire stumbles after setup changes	M185 measurement card	M185 parts substitution card	M185 guide	inductance and setup drift still belong ahead of deeper electrical blame

Official Parts Exit Paths

If the complaint proves external at any point in the router, use the official parts flow instead of continuing into board work.

Stop Rules

Stop if the complaint follows a torch swap.
Stop if the display stays wrong while the weld path is healthy.
Stop if returning inductance to a sane baseline removes the complaint.
Stop if the source path is not yet on the intended 40 A or 50 A time-delay baseline.
Stop if the source path is weak or not aligned with the manual breaker guidance.
Stop and move to the full guide if display, feed, and torch evidence still conflict after the first pass.
