Welding machine help needed Hobart

I've been to busy this week to call anywhere about getting the welder repaired. I will do a quick check tonight on the things you have pointed out. I did try to run without an extention cord as someone else had mentioned but that did not help. I hope to call a repair facility today or tomorrow and get an idea of costs. I don't weld that often so I may decide not to fix it. It's just nice to have it when I need it. Thanks for the suggestions.
