LindaG Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 We have a Cress electric kiln. When we turn it on the message reads PFCn. Unable to go any further. Anyone know what that means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kielb Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 Do you know who’s controller. Cress I believe uses Bartlet these days. Maybe post a quick picture, likely someone will recognize it and look it up in the manual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 I'm not seeing that code in their manual. What model kiln, what model controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Davis Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 I also have this issue. It's a cress e27. Serial 9909dd. With the electronic display. I see no manufacturer of the control board. After a while the periods after the PFC disappear. I expected the kiln to read idle and flash the internal temp.

F is for Failure. C is for … uh …. I don’t know. But anyways, was there a power failure at your house right before this code appeared? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulk Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 Am finding multiple references PF == Power Failure, however, none for PFC (kiln controller display). ...had fun looking though. Below is a representative excerpt. PF - Power Failure Power was lost during a firing and the kiln temperature was below 140 F (60 C) or the kiln temperature dropped more than 250 degrees during the power outage. Q. How do I clear the "PF" from the display? A. Press the "1" key. After several seconds the current temperature will be displayed. Several other numbers or STOP may be displayed before the current temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
