  1. Hey @glazenerd I think you're onto something here. Based off the manual, electrical noise can create this problem. It typically pertains to relays but I'm wondering if the close proximity of the thermocouple wiring without insulation is the culprit. Thank you for this jewel!
  2. Hey @High Bridge Pottery This is a good idea! I'll definitely give it a try. Perhaps a temporary fix at a minimum.
  3. Hey @neilestrick , thank you! To perform the bypass test I would first remove the thermocouple. Then using spare wire, I would bridge the thermocouple terminals connected to the back of the controller. Room temp reading each time. The first thermocouple I tried was a kiln specific Olympic type K. After that failed I began using universal Type K thermocouples from The Ceramic Shop.
  4. I have an Olympic Kiln Model 2327 that I bought just over a year ago. I was able to get about 10 firings in before it started displaying Err1. After analysis, it was evident 3 elements needed to be replaced. After replacing, the kiln fired 4 times before giving me "FAIL". I performed the T/C By-pass test and was getting a room temp reading. I ordered a new thermocouple and installed. The kiln gave me another 4 firings before giving me "FAIL" again. Performed the T/C By-pass test once more with the same outcome. I replaced the thermocouple again, this time the kiln gave me 3 firings before receiving "FAIL". Again, I ran the T/C By-pass test which indicated I needed to replace the thermocouple once more. I replaced the thermocouple and the kiln game me two firings before receiving "FAIL". I repeated the process once more and got only 1 firing out of the kiln before "FAIL". Seeking guidance on how to proceed. The only code the controller is giving me is "FAIL", each time the "T/C By-pass test” reads room temperature. Lost and need guidance.
