terraworks57 Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 Could this error be caused by a brownout? The reason I am asking is that this has happened before and I just restarted my kiln and it finished the firing by refiring. This time it read that it had reached cone 5-6 (by the hours it took). When I pushed the start button this time it was just under 800 degrees and it is now refiring... I guess I could have let it finish cooling down but the fan was not on... Any thoughts or suggestions? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. What is error 8 on that controller? This one?: In CONE FIRE mode, the temperature is falling in the last segment instead of increasing. It could be because of a power outage, but it could also be a relay sticking when it gets hot. If it's a relay, it'll probably totally fail soon. Were there other signs of power outage in your building- clocks flashing, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has happened one time before and with a brown out it does not always reflect on the clocks flashing etc. Sometimes it is just a temp flash. I restarted the kiln and it seems to be cooling down fine now... I will take your advice and check out the relay- Thank you for replying so quickly =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
