I have a JD230 it's 3 years old. I have the electronic controller, Dawson
kiln sitter and heavy duty elements. This kiln hasn't been fired over 50
times. The last 3 firings the bottom ring temp was lagging way behind. I
got error code which indicated the kiln was not ramping up toward the end of
the firing. I shut off the vent & bypassed the lag and finished the firing.
The ^7 cone bent in the sitter but the 2 shelves in the bottom ring
obviously under fired.
We ( hubby and me) have checked the elements (ohm resistance), thermocouples
and the plugs that go into the electronic controller and all seem fine.
Someone suggested I check the relay ... Does anyone know how do we do
that???
Of course this happens as I am pressured to get work completed for 4
shows!!! Arggggh!
TIA
