- You either need a controller, a relay, a fuse, a jumper wire, or an element. A relay can burn out twice a year. Call bluebird and try to get free info on how to fix it.
Unplug it before you get in there and start touching wires. Kilns are just glorified toasters.

I am dreaming up solutions. Its probably gna snow soon around here, not good for travel.
-Do you have any pictures of it that you can post? I will have some repair ideas in a couple days.
-Is there a char mark where the element burned out on the inside of the kiln on the roof?
-If there is a char mark, we can dig into that area and do a temporary fix that may last a week or 5 years.
-Pinning a new element in the ceiling of a kiln can be tricky.
-Kiln dust is also known as refractory brick dust which is very harmful to your lungs in a way that is usually noticed 20-50 years later with an emphysema diagnosis. Bob Snodgrass has good info about the hazards of handling refractory brick dust. There is no plaster in your kiln.
