In this video we demonstrate how to replace Type K thermocouples. These thermocouples degrade over time, and we recommend replacing them whenever you replace your elements.

How To Change A Relay
  • When changing a power or control relay in an Easy-Fire, Easy-Fire XT, School-Master, or eQuad-Pro Kiln, be sure to keep the wires in the right sequence.
  • The configuration is similar to a Jupiter panel or as a control relay in a DaVinci or Easy-Load panel.
  • When performing this maintenance, make sure the kiln is unplugged or locked out and tagged out at the circuit breaker or fused disconnect switch.

    See this page for the 12-Volt 30-Amp relay we use for most kilns.

    This page describes the 240-volt 30-amp relay we use as a control relay for 480-volt kilns.

    This video is useful for changing a thermocouple on any L&L kiln - in particular an eQuad-Pro or a School-Master Kiln.

    Be sure to maintain proper polarity.

    In the USA: Yellow Wire = PLUS (+) Red Wire = MINUS (-) The thermocouples are marked with a (+) and (-). Also the negative (-) is marked with a red marker. The negative wire is MORE magnetic than the positive wire.

    For more information about thermocouple polarity, color coding, and markings see this page.
