289946 - Miller 289946 Right Hand Side Panel, Hobart Gray Replacement

Restore Your Welder with Genuine OEM Parts

The Miller 289946 Panel, Side Rh Hobart Gray is a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement component designed to restore the structural integrity and aesthetic condition of your compatible Hobart welding machine. When a welder's case is damaged due to job site impact, transportation accidents, or general wear and tear, it compromises more than just the look of the unit. The side panels play a critical role in the safety and functionality of the equipment. This specific panel is fabricated for the Right Hand (RH) side of the unit (when facing the front controls) and comes finished in the standard Hobart Gray powder coat, ensuring a seamless match with the rest of your machine's enclosure.

Protection and Safety

Welding environments are harsh, filled with metal dust, sparks, and heavy equipment. The external panels of your power source act as the first line of defense for the sensitive internal components, including PC boards, transformers, and capacitors. A dented or missing panel can expose these live electrical parts to conductive debris, increasing the risk of short circuits or operator injury. Installing the Miller 289946 panel ensures that the machine remains fully enclosed, meeting safety standards and protecting the operator from accidental contact with internal high-voltage systems.

Optimized Airflow and Cooling

Beyond physical protection, the chassis of a welding machine is engineered to direct airflow in a specific pattern. Cooling fans rely on the enclosure to channel air over heat sinks and transformers efficiently. Running a machine with a missing or severely deformed side panel can disrupt this airflow, leading to hot spots and potential thermal overload. By replacing a damaged panel with this exact-fit OEM part, you ensure that the cooling system functions as intended, preserving the duty cycle and lifespan of your welder.

Direct Fit Installation

As an authentic Miller/Hobart part, this panel guarantees a frustration-free installation. There is no need for drilling, cutting, or bending to make it fit. The mounting holes are precision-stamped to align perfectly with the machine's frame. Simply remove the damaged panel and secure the new one using your existing hardware. Whether you are refurbishing an older machine or repairing recent damage, this Hobart Gray side panel is the professional choice for maintaining the value and performance of your equipment.
