Josh125 Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 (edited) Hello! I am having trouble with my new kiln relays. When i turn on my kiln, all the elements heat up, but the relays keep firing super quickly and sound like a machine gun. Any idea what is wrong with them? I have fired successfully with them in the past. Edited August 13 by Josh125 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulk Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 Hi Josh125, Welcome to the Forum! Good question. "If you hear a chattering noise, the relay is about to fail.

Bill Kielb Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 Suggest you post, make model of kiln, controller type and any pictures of the relay (s) showing the relay part number, operating voltage, etc… and anything that might have been done to the kiln since they fired correctly in the past for some informed thoughts Hyn Patty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 I don't typically see relays chatter when they're failing, but it's possible. If they're all chattering then it's more likely a controller issue. If you just replaced them then it could be a wire in the wrong place. The other thing that comes to mind is if the controller somehow got set for solid state relays. What brand and model kiln is it, and what type of controller?
