Hi Bill and all,
sorry for the long response, I was eaiting for the new thermostat to respond, which I installed yesterday…
so far, I’ve replaced by new:
- all 4 elements
- both relays
- the transformer
- the thermostat
And I still haver Error 1!!
here are the elements Ohm readings:
- element 1 (top): 10.3 Ohms
- element 2 (top middle): 6 Ohms
- element 3 (bottom middle): 6 Ohms
- element 4 (bottom): 10.3 Ohms
And considering top connection is 1 and bottom connection is 8, I have:
- between 1 and 4: 16.7 Ohms
- between 5 and 8: 16.8 Ohms.
also attached is a picture of the kiln plate.
The only thing I haven’t changed is the DTC 600C controller and the wires.
i also did a time laps to see how the temperature changes and it increase up to 1,200 with sometime a few drop. Then it is more erratic, between 1,200 and 1,500 and there, it comes a bit crazy cjanging (every 5 seconds) as follow for example: 1551 - 1558 - 1616 - 1798 - 1803 - 1854 - 1920 - 1946 - 2004 - 1946 - 1920 - 1806. Etc.
can share the video if you want to see.
Any thoughts?
