Hulk Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Hi Cindi, Welcome to the Forum! Paragon Industries has a wiring diagram and parts identification .pdf for models A-99, A99B, A100B on their website; pick it from here: Kiln Wiring Diagrams | Paragon Industries LP (paragonweb.com) I'm not seeing a timer there, however, see "...kiln sitter (not shown)" under item 22. Is the timer motor part of the kiln sitter? If so, please ID the sitter make and model, and, if possible, supply an image? Robertshaw and Paragon... Paragon defrost timers, yep. Looks like Paragon kilns are made by Paragon Industries, L.P. in Mesquite, Texas ...if they are associated with Robertshaw, I'm not finding it. ...didn't know that Frederick W. Robertshaw invented the thermostat. They make a broad array of control equipment - there was a lot of Robertshaw stuff in the steel mill where I worked - I wouldn't be surprised (maybe a little bit) if a Paragon kiln has a Robertshaw control. Robertshaw headquarters is in Itasca, Illinois. PeterH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 Switches used on kilns are not made specifically for kilns. They are typically off-the-shelf oven switches that happen to work on kilns. Robert Shaw switches were probably used on just about every brand of kilns at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Tom said, the timer is probably part of a kiln sitter, perhaps one of these: http://www.fireright.com/docs/kilnsitter/lt3andk.pdf If you can confirm that it is indeed part of a kiln sitter -- and tell us the make/model (preferably with a photo) -- somebody will be able to suggest a supplier. For an idea of price, picking a random make and model of kiln-sitter I quickly found: https://www.theceramicshop.com/product/7940/kiln-sitter-timer-motor/ ...assuming that it is the motor that you are after PS PM'ed as OP hasn't visited since posting the question.

Dick White Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 Parts for a kiln sitter can also be purchased from Clay-King https://www.clay-king.com/kilns/kiln_parts/kiln_sitter_parts.html The motor for the timer is part number 67 for $98. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
