Hi Jane,

I have a short cylindrical magnet (1 1/2" diam. by 1 1/4" high). I have =
used it to keep the kiln going after the kilnsitter has tripped off by =
placing its side on top of the release claw while the end of the magnet =
sticks to the side of the kiln. I have no idea where I got the magnet. =
It was just magically there one day when the kilnsitter tripped too =
early and I wanted to turn it back on! A square magnet would work even =
better. Maybe try a hardware store?
