Gin Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 I have an Estrin electric kiln it is not reaching cone temp as per the self supporting Orrin cones . There is no error message and the elements were new in Sept 2020 and I have maybe fired 10 loads. The elements are in tact and no damage or signs of being burnt Could it be the thermocouple? what should I test next Any assistance would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kielb Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 A little more info might help. What temp does it make it to, how long does it take to get to that temp, did it shut off or just keep running? Did you program a schedule into it and what was the schedule? What cone are we trying to make? What cone is the kiln rated for. When you changed your elements what did they measure in resistance and what do new elements measure if you know this. The more you tell the easier it will be to diagnose. Does the kiln display a temperature when the error is cleared? What is the error message? Model # how big is it? how many Watts ………..
