It's never a good time to lose a kiln.
Here we are, pressed for time and money, Orders we took at BMAC are almost ready for shipment. We have a show in another state starting next Thursday.
TIME IS VERY IMPORTANT
So what happens?
Kiln Fail.
Burned out wire..something wasn't tight enough.
Replace it.
Replace the suspect relays:
It doesn't work! They're old ones we didn't throw away. With no visible signs of damage it's hard to tell if its good or bad.
OH NO. Now what.
We don't have an L&L, but the principals are the same. So we applied the information.
Test:
Found the bad relay and since it's a weekend
Cannibalized other kiln:
Repair:
Order a new one..no not from a kiln supplier
From Newark Under $10, not nearly $30
yep.. awesome.
