OVERVIEW

Restore Your Thermal Arc 161 STL with the W7003205 Front Panel

The ESAB / Thermal Arc W7003205 Front Panel is the definitive OEM replacement component designed exclusively for the Thermal Arc 161 STL inverter welding machine. Over time, the rigors of industrial environments, transport, and daily use can take a toll on the exterior casing of your welding equipment. A cracked or damaged front panel not only detracts from the professional appearance of your machine but can also compromise the stability of control knobs, switches, and cable connections.

This replacement panel is manufactured to the exact specifications of the original factory part, ensuring a seamless installation process. It features precise molding that aligns perfectly with the machine's internal chassis, allowing for the secure mounting of the amperage control potentiometer, the TIG/Stick process selector switch, and the Dinse output terminals. The panel is constructed from high-impact, heat-resistant polymer materials capable of withstanding the thermal fluctuations and physical impacts common in welding workshops and field sites.

By replacing a damaged front bezel with this genuine W7003205 part, you ensure that the clear labeling of settings is restored, allowing operators to make accurate adjustments quickly. Furthermore, a sealed and intact front panel is crucial for maintaining the IP rating of the machine, preventing conductive dust, metal shavings, and moisture from entering the sensitive inverter electronics housed within. Trust in genuine ESAB and Thermal Arc parts to extend the lifecycle of your valuable welding assets.

Whether you are a repair technician refurbishing a fleet of 161 STL units or an individual welder fixing a personal machine, this front panel provides the fit, finish, and durability required to get your equipment back to peak operational condition.
