mrcasey Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 At a local community art center, we have an A-99B Paragon Kiln.One of the kiln rings has been removed.The kiln was originally operating on 4 wires (2 hot, ground, and neutral).Somebody converted it to 3 wires so that it fits our 3 wire outlet.The kiln originally operated with a kilnmaster.The kiln is no longer hooked to the kilnmaster.There are 4 elements. When the temp controls are turned to low and/or medium, none of the elementsheat up or glow.When the temp controls are turned to high, only 2 elements glow. One glowing and one non glowing element is connected to each switch. I tested resistance on each element and get about 9 ohms.I tested voltage on elements. Two elements get about 120 volts. Twoelements get 0 volts. The pottery teacher says that all of the parts are new. any ideas? thanks, Casey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
