Side Element Replacement
As with any repair, remove power from the kiln.
Figures 1 & 2
- Remove the red panel that houses the element ends. You will see the element ends protruding from the brick. Locate the two element ends
of the faulty element and remove the connectors and black and/or blue wires from each.
Figure 3
- Using long nose pliers, carefully remove the element from the firebrick groove. Go easy, the brick is fragile and will break if care is not given.
Figures 4 & 5
- Install the new element. Start by inserting one end through the brick and attach the connector and black or blue wire. Using a wooden
spoon or similar device, push the element into the groove. Keep in mind that the element is longer than the groove. This design allows the element to
expand and contract without pulling out of the groove. Go slow and you’ll do just fine.
Figures 6 & 7
- Insert the other end of the element through the brick and attach the element connector and black or blue wire. Use wire cutters to snip off
excess element ends.
Re-attach the red panel to the kiln.
