[accidentally started my bisque on high instead of low]

THANK YOU! i took a quick peek inside before I turned it down and e dry thing looked ok!

[accidentally started my bisque on high instead of low]

will it be ok if i turn it down to medium and continue the firing schedule or should I have turned it off and started over tomorrow? it was on high for 4 hours  

thank you!!

yea the kiln is from 1977 and I was lucky enough to be the first one to ever fire it and that was just last year! so everything is pretty old. i’ve been looking up switches on amazon but there’s so many different kinds. I’ll see if I can find a serial number on my old one! thanks for the info!

I’ve had the kiln a little more than a year and I fire once a week and it’s been working great this whole time. I moved recently and the first bisque fire (in the new place) seemed to be going ok but it reached temp before I switched it to high and plugged it up (after candling for 4 hours on low and medium for 3 hours) That seemed weird and out of ordinary but everything looked great so I started a ^6 the next day. after about 16 hours it hadn’t reached temp so I turned it off and assumed I needed a new element in my extension (I replaced the main kiln elements recently but not the extension) I decided to not use the extension and fire just the main unit and suddenly it won’t engage—but only at low and medium—i can hear the hum of the kiln turning on at high. i took the panel off and the wires look fine but I don’t know much about electricity. they seem connected  well. could it be my kiln sitter?

but it does engage at high. it’s a paragon a66b. my best guess is that my switch needs to be replaced, but i’d like a second opinion. does this sound right or is there something else i should be looking at? thank you!
