Why Is My Kiln Not Reaching Temperature at Joshua Hendricks blog

Why Is My Kiln Not Reaching Temperature. I have just bought a second hand top loading electric kiln (potterycrafts p5976 electric toploader). If certain areas of the kiln are not reaching the desired temperatures, it could indicate that one or more elements are not working correctly. Kiln shuts off when gas valve turned too high. I've had 3 glaze firings in a row not reaching temperature. Check the low pressure regulator at your gas source and have gas pressure at 7” water column for natural gas or 11” water column. I have refired 3 times, glazes still not quite matured. All the elements were replaced recently and all work. If it is a 240v kiln running on a 208v service, you will not be able to get to temperature. Use an ohmmeter to test each. Low voltage issues will make the kiln struggle to get to temperature and high voltage issues will cause the kiln to draw too many amps. I just glaze fire my kiln, on the too the cones melted correctly but at the bottom were underfired. The second thing i would do, if the voltage is. Gas pressure is too high.
