technical tuesday: fail

Sigh, it’s been one of those mornings folks. Long whiny story I’ll spare you from, but it ended with me coming back to the studio to find a fail message on my kiln….maybe the kiln was just trying to sympathize with me today….

Regardless, now I need to problem solve. The firing went fine, it fired off last night, I stopped the program once it said complete so that I could see the temperature to know when I could open it. All was good, 500 and some degress left, I went to bed. So what transpired over night? I can’t get the fail message to clear and there is no error code to look up. So what is it then? Broken thermocouple. I guess too many firings, too much work. Overloading my wee kiln. Oh well. It’s not like i’m in the midst of getting a huge wholesale order done or something…..oh wait, I am!!!

I hope everyone else’s day transpires without any FAILS.
