This video shows you how to test element resistance of the circuits on a Jupiter or DaVinci kiln.
Also see this page about testing for element resistance.
See this video for checking elements on Easy-Fire, eQuad-Pro, School-Master and many other kilns.
FOR SAFETY'S SAKE: Be sure to unplug the kiln before performing this test. If you do that there is no chance of any shock even if you are not experienced.

This video shows how easy it is to change elements in an L&L kiln. The hard ceramic element holders protect the fragile firebrick while you are pulling element out and putting new elements in. See this link for more information on changing elements, wiring, and diagrams.

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.
PartsSee this page for the standard type K thermocouple.

This video shows you how to remove an L&L easy-fire, eQuad-Pro or School-Master panel to send to factory for service.
For the previous panel design with a thermocouple terminal strip, watch from the beginning.
For the new panel design without a thermocouple terminal strip, skip to 2:13

In this video we will demonstrate how to upgrade your kiln from Type K thermocouples to Type S.
- Brick plugs
- Brick cement
- Type S Thermocouples (short for most kilns)
- Type S Thermocouples (long for Easy-Load)
- Type S Lead Wire (by the foot)
- All Type S Lead Wire (Assemblies)
- Spade Terminals for thermocouples

This video shows how to check a control fuse on an L&L automatic kiln.
See this for more information.
Parts- See this page for control fuse ordering information.

How to check the operation of a control transformer on an L&L automatic kiln. Applies to all automatic kilns that are not 480 volts. The control transformer reduces the incoming line voltage from 240, 208 or 220 volts to 24 volts for the control and 12 volts for the relays. See this page for more detail.

The most important debugging tool in any toolbox is a trusty multimeter. A multimeter can measure continuity, resistance, voltage and sometimes even current, capacitance, temperature, etc.
