Knowledgebase FAQ
- See the Sales FAQs for Frequently Asked Sales and Preorder Questions
- 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.

What is the E- A code on the DynaTrol and how do you fix it?
- E- A or Error A is the result of having too high a number programmed into one or more of the segments of the Vary-Fire program you are trying to fire.
- Bartlett says it is pretty rare, but it can happen in Segments 7 and/ or 8 of the User 2 program.
- Even if your User 2 program only has 1 or 2 segments, all 8 segments are looked at by the part of the controller that checks for faults like that.
- To fix it, just go into User 2 and set it for 8 segments.
- Then as you go through the program, check the set points; the degrees F or C number in each segment.
- Probably the degrees F 7 and degrees F 8 are set to numbers that are a lot higher than the maximum temperature of the kiln.
- Set them to a number below 2300 and finish going through the program.
- Lastly go back into User 2 again and set it back to the original number of segments. Then try to fire it again.
