- The Knowledgebase is organized into a series of questions and answers having to do mostly with technical troubleshooting and understanding of kilns.
- Although we write this for our own kilns many of these articles apply to other makes - although L&L takes no responsibility for that.
- Many Knowledgebase articles have Actions, PDFs and Videos associated with them.
- Actions are specific actions for you to take during the troubleshooting or repair process.
- Each Action may also have Videos and PDFs associated with it and, in addition, specific Cautions.

Control reads higher temperature than my studio. No error code. What is wrong?
I notice the temperature on the display is saying 121F. It's not 121 in the studio. An independent Pyrometer says 80F. There is no error message on display. Did I do something wrong?

There is an 18 Deg F offset programmed into the control to compensate for the thermocouple protection tube. Nothing is wrong - just assume the control won't be accurate at room temperature.
