Is your kiln throwing an error code or not reading temperatures correctly? It might be time to replace the thermocouple!
In today’s tutorial, I’ll walk you through the entire process of swapping out a broken thermocouple in a ceramic kiln. We’ll start by testing the replacement part using a blowtorch and a multimeter, then move step-by-step through the installation on the control panel. Finally, we’ll run a bisque firing and a Cone 6 glaze firing to test the new setup.
I also placed pyrometric cones at the top, middle, and bottom of the kiln to check for temperature accuracy—and the results gave me some great insights into the temperature differences inside my kiln!
