My Cress Kiln let me down (almost)

Manually firing my Cress Kiln wasn’t my original idea but one that came about by necessity.You see, it was a rainy Sunday afternoon, which should have been the perfect time for me to spend happily in my studio elbow high in clay. I had loaded my kiln with greenware and it was all set to be turned on that afternoon when I finished working, allowing an all night firing. But it ended up being one of those gloomy days when I wanted to do nothing but nap. After a while I thought, hey go turn on the kiln. I turned it on, set the timer for 7 hours, since I expected it to finish in 6, set the speed control to B and turned the thumb wheel to 1.

Sep 13, 2019  The kiln sitter is a manual control device commonly used by numerous kiln manufacturers. There were a couple of different ways of putting the kiln sitter together, and each manufacturer used the particular model/style that fit their kiln design. LT-3K is one of them. The actual kiln manufacturer, model number, and electrical specifications.

I have a Cress FX 23 kiln and the speed control works in tandem with the thumb wheel. Setting B is a faster firing. The thumb wheel turns at a certain speed and that is what controls the temperature. After 3 hours I go to check on the kiln and the thumb wheel is still sitting on 1, the kiln is warm but not as hot as it is supposed to be by now.

Arghhhhh, something is wrong with my thumb wheel. It is not doing its job. So now I have to manually manage the kiln, and the next 6 hours I find myself babysitting my kiln. About every half hour I turn the thumb wheel just a bit, about a half number, until I get to 8 1/2 which is where the thumb wheel generally ends up on a bisque firing. The kiln sitter, which has been set up with an 06 cone, does its job and turns off the kiln.

When I unloaded the kiln this morning it looks like it all turned out well. But I sure don’t want to have to do that with a glaze firing so I had better fix my kiln.

I called Cress and spoke with a guy who knows everything about these kilns. The first thing he says to try is the move the speed control knob all they way around. If that doesn’t work I should call him back with the model and serial number. So last night I did what he said, turned the empty kiln on and let it fire.

Guess what…. it worked! My thumb wheel moved. I am giddy with delight, which brings my spirits up since I had a particularly crappy day at my “real” job.

So the next few hours I got to clean and prep greenware for glazing while I belted out song after song with Adele!

   Yeah! So happy you were able to talk to someone knowledgeable and that you’re working with a company with great customer service!
