Time to start the maintenance on the old kiln. When ever an electric kiln throws an error code the fist step for me is to check the ohms of the elements. This step can save a potter a lot of money because you aren’t throwing parts at it. The first step is get a multimeter, they are cheap and easy to use. Step two turn the power off to the kiln. Nobody wants a big shock. Step 3 is to open up and access the elements. Step 4 disconnect the elements, on mine it has these easy to unscrew junctions. Step 5 set your multimeter to ohms, I set mine to the lowest setting. Step 6 place the terminal ends on the ends of the elements and take the reading. Write down your readings so you can compare them to what they should be. My bottom element is suppose to be 14.5 ohms and as you can see it is 25 ohms. The higher the ohms the. More resistance and the harder the elements will have to work to reach temperature or in my case finally not reach temp. So now time to place the order and get new elements and while I’m at it I guess I’ll check the relays too. #kiln #kilnmaintenance #elements #stepbystep #ohm #clay #potter #mississippi #fixit https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzn3n_vAi2E/?igshid=1x4a6wtavyodw
