That junction sits in the chamber, cycling to cone temperature and back, and over hundreds of firings the metals degrade. The voltage shifts, and so does the temperature the controller thinks it is seeing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThe symptom is not an error message. It is cone packs that stop matching the controller, glazes that come out a little under, or a kiln that suddenly seems to fire hotter than it used to. If the kiln is reading wrong and nothing else has changed, suspect the thermocouple first and the controller second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eA thermocouple is a cheap part and it is the single most common cause of a kiln that will not hold its numbers.
