Hi everyone! I've been having a problem with my kiln,it's a Evenheat that
comes with a kilnsitter ( Kiln Model: # 6320 XL,3 1/2 years old). The sitter
does not turn itself off when I'm firing to ^ 6 so I regulate it with the
timer on the sitter instead. However my ^ 6 Glazes seem to mature and come out
looking fine. We looked at the elements while the kiln had been on high for a
while and they all turn red but neither the bar in the sitter nor the ^ 6
witness cone bend the way they should,probably only about a quarter or a third
way down. Any comments will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Annette Libby.
