Check Temperature of Cord
- Occasionally check temperatures of the main power cord at the main receptacle and the main kiln breaker while the kiln is at its hottest.
- If these are hotter than usual, it could be a sign of a loose or corroded connection, or possibly the wire gauge used in the power hook-up is the wrong size for the amount of current being drawn by the kiln.
- Immediately diagnose and fix this because it could cause a fire.
- Also check temperature of any other cords on the kilns (such as element jumper cords).
